My life is somewhat limited due to the fact that I have ileostomy, which I got after five years of colitis ulcerosa, which lead to colon cancer in 2008.
The ileostomy has, however, given me freedom that I didn’t have before and therefore, with full health and only a stoma bag on my belly, I embrace life and try to get the best of it.
Here you can read about my quest of going up, as I went hiking and climbing in the Swiss and Italian Alps in the summer of 2010. You can also read about my recovery after surgery, my view on life and more that can be of value to others in similar situations.
I will continue telling tales of my adventures in hopes that it will inspire others, despite limitations.
