Finally back to it!

This topic is about someone who has returned to a physically demanding job after spending a year in a less active role due to having an ostomy. They experienced a small mishap on their first day back, which served as a reminder to use their support belt. Despite the challenges, they are feeling optimistic about getting back to the work they love.

Here are some pieces of advice and helpful insights shared by others:

- Encouragement to keep doing the work you enjoy, even with an ostomy.
- A gentle reminder to take it easy and pace yourself as you adjust to the physical demands of your job.
- Reassurance that finding joy and satisfaction in your "new normal" is not only possible but also something to celebrate.
