Re: rowing with a stoma

We are about 1 year down the road since I posted my question. The temporary stoma (ileum) has come and gone and so has the cancer (at least they cannot find anything anymore but they keep checking me :) ).

Good and inspiring story. When you are working full time and want to have quality time with the family it can be hard to fit in physical exercise. Yes. Setting a goal and structuring your daily exercise as a routine helps a lot to find the necessary discipline. I belong to the generation of "early r...
