It's been a long time since last post

 My husband passed away on April 2nd 2024. I was numb. Flabbergasted. Discombobulated. Heartbroken. He seemed to go so fast. After fifty years together. Wow. I felt a half a person.

It's been a difficult year. I went to the ER with a stomach ache, they did a CT scan and found I was impacted in my bowl. Then the fun began. They couldn't untwist the bowl, and I was rushed to another hospital!

They had to remove part of my bowl. But even worse, I got an osty bag. That means I was pooping into a bag attached to my stomach. And, they expected me to learn how to remove one and put on a new one. Newsbreak, I'm not a nurse!

My home visit nurse said she only had so much time to teach me how to do it. I was not a cooperative student. Worse, my vision was blurry and I couldn't get an eye appt for three months. My eye doc was out on medical leave...how dare she!

Then my new doc says I have scarring from cataract surgery. Three more months to have surgery.

Are we having fun yet?

Finally laser surgery. Now I can see. Wow, in the mirror, I've lost too much weight. I looked better blurry. 

Good news, my home nurse, now my friend, helped me with the detaching and reattaching of my osty bag. Better news. I had reversal surgery in Nov. NO MORE BAG!

Today I'm supposed to write what made me happy. Or laugh. The dog left two balls in the hallway. I sang, Two balls in the hall and I kicked them down the hall.
