User:Joys Stoma chat room

WHAT TO EXPECT: Ostomates and relatives, friends, or family of people that have a stoma, or will be getting one in the near future, need information. Well, I'm here to give it to you. Most people say that your life is just about over when something like having a stoma happens to you. Just because it is life changing does not mean it has to be a bad change. People with stomas are just regular people. We are postitive people that live our life with content and freedom every day. Having a stoma doesn't mean you should stop doing sports, activities, and being involved in social groups. It just means to be more careful in the things you do. Such as skydiving. It would be a bad idea to go skydiving or mountain climbing after having a stoma. Although, that does not mean that you shouldn't completely take athletic hobbies out of your daily routine. Things such as swimming, tennis, basketball, volleyball, soccer, golfing, baseball, church events, and hiking should not be cut out of your life. You can still do just about anything anyone else can do; walk on the beach, watch sunsets, plant gardens, grow vegetables, make sandcastles... Live your life with happiness and enjoy every second of it!
