The photos in this album are of my 6 1/2 year old and 4 year old breaking boards at a karate demonstration. The first time I saw them do this a year ago, I couldn't believe it - kids this age shouldn't be able to do this. That's what adults think. But kids don't know this is unusual, so they try until they do it. They never think "I can't do this"
This is how I think of my ostomy. There is nothing I can't do - I won't allow that thought to come to mind. The only limitations your ostomy will put on you are the ones you set in your mind. Instead of seeing the ostomy as something that holds me back, I see it as what sets me free to do what I love to do.
