Doers

This topic is about a poem that celebrates the proactive nature of ostomates, who are people living with a stoma. The poem highlights the importance of taking quick and decisive action in managing stoma care, contrasting those who act with those who hesitate. It humorously points out that dealing with stoma output requires leadership and control, making ostomates natural problem-solvers.

Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

1. Many people found the poem relatable, emphasizing that taking action is key to successful ostomy care, rather than just talking about it.

2. A member shared a Chinese proverb: "I hear, I forget; I see, I remember; I do, I know," which highlights that hands-on experience is the best way to learn.

3. Another suggestion was to read the poem aloud. Doing so can be a fun and affirming way to embrace its message, and even pets seemed to enjoy it!
