Great question! I have plenty, but the simplest pleasure for me is when I wake in the morning, I roll over and spend a few glorious minutes comfortably laying on my stomach. I had a temporary loop ileostomy, which I did not know if it would be possible to reverse or not. So, the pleasure of laying on one’s stomach is not really great with a bag stuck to your stomach full of warm contents, ready to burst upon waking in the morning. So I have deep gratitude each and every morning for regaining that ability. I was lucky to be able to have the ileostomy reversed, and I will always be grateful for that.
