Third Christmas: A Day After Diagnosis.

This topic is about someone celebrating their third Christmas since being diagnosed and living with an ostomy. They express immense gratitude for their ostomy, which they feel has given them a new chance at life.

- The person shares a humorous story about attending Cardiff City football matches. While their friends have to rush to the toilet and miss goals, they enjoy the convenience of their ostomy bag, joking that they can "cr*p and clap at the same time."

- Other people with ostomies join in to congratulate them, sharing that life can still be wonderful many years after surgery. One person mentions being a 12-year survivor and reminds everyone that each day is a gift.

- Someone suggests that "saved by the bag" would make a fantastic slogan or caption for an ostomy bag, pointing out how humor and a positive attitude can help in adjusting to life with an ostomy.
