Dr. Seuss Inspired Ode to Ostomy Bags

This topic is about a delightful poem inspired by Dr. Seuss, titled "I Do Like Taking a Poo." The poem playfully celebrates the freedom that comes with having an ostomy bag, highlighting how it allows the author to "poo anytime and anywhere" without anyone noticing. The poem ends with a proud declaration of being an ostomate.

Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others:

1. Humor is a great way to cope. Many people find that laughing about life with an ostomy helps reduce stress and improves their outlook, even during hospital visits.

2. Feel free to share uplifting material. One person read the poem to a support group, and it brought a lot of laughter to everyone.

3. Personalize the poem for different stomas. Someone suggested changing "poo" to "wee" for those with a urostomy, showing how the poem can be adapted.

4. Bring some fun into medical settings. One person shared how they played lighthearted pranks on hospital staff to keep spirits up during frequent hospital stays, highlighting the importance of maintaining a playful attitude.
