This topic is about someone who has just returned to work for the first time after recovering from surgery, which resulted in them having a stoma, affectionately named "Stefant." They are feeling a mix of mental fatigue and gratitude for being able to work again, although there are some concerns about not being able to return to their previous role. They have spent years training their sales team and are eager to take advantage of new company systems. For now, they will be working half-days for two weeks before transitioning back to full-time hours. There is also an upcoming skin-graft procedure planned, and they hope it won't require more time off. On a positive note, their stoma behaved well on the first day back, with no unexpected noises or issues.

Here are some pieces of advice and insights that might be helpful:

1. Keep a positive outlook. Confidence and optimism can greatly aid in your recovery and help you succeed at work.

2. Celebrate the small victories, like having a cooperative stoma. These little wins can boost your morale as you transition back to full-time work.
