When the doctors told me I needed a stoma, ostomy, I wasn’t happy. Not even a little bit.
I didn’t wake up thinking,
“Do you know what would make today special? A bag on my tummy!” 😅
But I had to look at the bigger picture.
My bowel needed time to heal after cancer surgery. Later, after radiotherapy damage, I had to face another decision. Stay stuck at home, worried about accidents and pain… or have the stoma, ostomy and get some freedom back.
So I asked myself one simple question:
What kind of life do I actually want?
I wanted to go out when I felt like it.
Eat without fear.
And stop spending hours on the loo with a very sore bum!
Sometimes the decision isn’t about what you want… it’s about what will give you the best life in the long run.
