Multi-tasking me

This topic is all about finding creative and enjoyable ways to multitask while managing an ostomy. The originator shares a playful poem about how they keep themselves entertained during ostomy output and appliance changes. Here are some of the activities they suggest:

- Humming or singing to pass the time.
- Reading a book or an article.
- Smoking a cigarette to help with odor.
- Writing prose or poetry about their experiences with an ostomy.
- Watching TV, videos, or listening to the radio for some entertainment.

They also invite others to share their own multitasking ideas, which might inspire future poems or blog posts.

In addition, one community member offers practical advice on everyday tasks that can be done while managing or wearing an ostomy appliance:

1. Cooking meals.
2. Doing laundry.
3. Washing dishes.
4. Mopping the floor.
5. Sleeping comfortably.
6. Taking a shower.
7. Getting dressed.
8. Gardening.
9. Shoveling snow.
10. Taking out the trash.

These suggestions highlight how life with an ostomy can still be full of activity and creativity.
