Take one day at a time. Baby steps. This makes things easier to deal with; in my opinion.
Yes that’s my philosophy too.
Eventually things get so much easier to deal with, I used to dread changing the ileostomy bag and it took forever. Now most times I don’t think about it. My food was beige and limited, now I can eat small but more varied.
My operation was only six weeks ago so I still have a long way to go.
We will be running metaphorically speaking, in no time.
best wishes Artsie
