Totally blind ostomate.

This topic is about managing a stoma when you are totally blind. A woman who is blind and has an ostomy wants to reassure others in similar situations that it is entirely possible to be independent in stoma care. She is eager to share her unique methods and offers support to anyone interested.

Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. Accessing forum posts when blind:
- Use VoiceOver, which is a screen reader available on Apple iPads and iPhones, to listen to the content instead of reading it visually.

2. General encouragement from the community:
- With the right adaptive techniques, blind individuals can learn to perform any stoma-care task. Building confidence and adapting methods to suit personal needs are essential.
- Sharing personal techniques and experiences can be incredibly helpful for others who are facing similar challenges.
