Your so brave to go back and have the ostomy back. I hope the mayo is not to far of a drive for you. Your attitude is so good. I am at the point that I am just angry and tired. Last night bad night 4 times up and two had to change pjs and wash up. Thank god for the huge pads or I am heading for depends. Its been 4 years since the bottom fell out. Its just such a shame that we have to fight with ins people and spend so much time at doctors offices. Because of last night its hard to walk without the terrible burn and bleeding now. I refuse to give up but sometimes it just feels like is this what the rest of life going to be like.
I think being really stressed makes things worse. My mom is a hand full but with the help of my therapist she is helping to let my mom do more. I was doing everything when I knew she could do certain things. Its like weaning myself off her a little. She does not like it at all but she is doing more.
I know this has been really hard on my husband of 32 years and really feel bad sometimes but its not my fault and its out of my control sometimes. That is very hard for me to do. I like to be in control. My husband is very healthy hikes about 5 miles a day uphill all the way I swear with the dog. He teaches Yoga which he is just teaching on class a week in the evening all levels and I always go, even if I have to step out to use the restroom. I just feel bad for him that we cant do more things together like we used. He is pretty good about it all.
Well enough about me I hope you are doing well and healing great and that will be a really wonderful thing for you.
We are all on our own journeys in life and I hope from now on yours is great.
