This topic is about someone who, after undergoing ileostomy and ureter repair surgery, decided to leave a stressful retail job due to issues with ostomy leaks. They chose to start a personalized horticulture business instead, which aligns better with their health needs and personal interests.

Here's a bit more about their journey and some advice from others:

1. After surgery, they initially took a low-stress midnight retail job with easy restroom access. However, they later moved to a higher-paying, high-stress position during a store remodel, where restroom access was inconvenient. This led to two leaks and several near misses in just two weeks.

2. Realizing the stress and lack of sleep were too much, they decided to quit and start a small horticulture consultancy. Their services include:
- On-site evaluation of clients’ properties
- Rehabilitation of sick plants and trees
- Light gardening and produce harvesting
- Creating personalized binders with plant photos, care instructions, before-and-after images, and progress reports

3. They currently have one client and are working on designing flyers to attract more homeowners, aiming for a simple, nature-focused livelihood that supports their family and wellbeing.

4. Many people support their decision to pursue work that aligns with their passion and physical needs, emphasizing the importance of reduced stress and reliable restroom access for managing an ostomy.

5. There's encouragement that turning a beloved hobby into a source of income can be successful, with a nod to the idea that doing what you love can lead to financial success.

6. Fellow gardeners mention that working in horticulture often doesn't feel like "work" and can bring both joy and a livelihood.

7. The community offers support and practical advice for managing ostomy issues if they continue to arise.

8. Some suggest that certain areas, like North Carolina, might have a good market for such a horticulture service.

9. General life advice shared includes living life to the fullest, doing what makes you happy, and reassurance that the poster is on the right path.
