Happily hopeless: adaptation to a permanent, but not to a temporary, disability.
TL;DR: Overall life satisfaction and quality of life increased with time for patients with permanent, but not temporary, ostomies, suggesting that knowing an adverse situation is temporary can interfere with adaptation, leading to a paradoxical situation in which people who are better off objectively are worse off subjectively.
