It's been 3 1/2 weeks since my surgery and I can't believe how much better I'm feeling week by week. Things I have learned in the past three weeks:
- my family and friends are incredible, calling on me, looking after me, ensuring I have everything I need.
- stress is as hard on my family and friends as it is on me... we've all had some tears and anxiety, and it's brought us closer.
- NOT having to rush to the bathroom 20x a day with extreme urgency is such a novelty after the past three flaring years.
- My fello Ostomites are right - you CAN wear your own clothes and nobody knows!
- Moderation is required - overdoing fiber in the form of meal-size salads is guaranteed to cause a day-long belly-ache!
- did I mention family and friends? Thanks to EVERYONE that has provided the support I've received, you're truly wonderful!
