Learning Ostomy

Question:

I wonder if Tai >Chi may help.

Tai Chi is great! I need to get back to it myself. I was doing Tae Kwon Do, but I messed up my knee (possibly because I was "protecting" my feet). Tai Chi really strengthens knees, but until I get used to it I will feel like its killing them!  Regarding the "book exercise", not only do my wrists and fingers get a workout, but my butt as well! I’m afraid its as "developed" as it needs to be — I need to work on "underdeveloping" it for a while!!!!  ;>) Ray G. Murray, KY r…@cablecomm-ky.net

My wife pointed at my belly the other day and said "post-surgery belly" (she’s a Registered Nurse).  I also would like to trim mine, and have been thinking in terms of goinf to a gym, or getting a book with tummy exercises.  I too would be interested in any web sites same as Cherrilynne.

or getting a book with tummy >exercises.

Romane, I hate to admit to it, but that’s the kind of exercise I usually get also. I get a book and read all about it!  ;>) Maybe that’s why I am about 25 pounds over my previously heaviest weight!  Seriously, I have a Morton’s Neuroma on each foot, and am getting ready to have the worst of them "fixed". Hopefully, after surgery I’ll feel more like walking. Right now, I only go a couple hundred yards before my foot screams for relief! Ray G. Murray, KY r…@cablecomm-ky.net

Hope the fixes work well for you – I would be lost now not being able to get into the yard and work. Ok, I think I have the same problem with books on exercise – great for the wrists and fingers, definately no excess weight there .  I wonder if Tai Chi may help.  I used to do it years ago, and it really does exercise just about all of the body, albeit slowly.  Once I get rid of the post-surgery belly ….

I had my colostomy done in Dec and another abscess/ abd surgery in late Januarry. My Tummy muscles are shot and it protrudes out like I’m 7 months pregnant. I asked my surgeon about excerxises to strenthen and flatten and he said what ever I am comfortable doing? I really need specific things to do?
