Be careful what you wish for!

So I just got done telling Butch I miss farting. ha! I know right? Weird thing to miss. I also miss having a nice sit down poop too. Yeah. Things you take for granted. It’s been since June since y bowels have been “normal”. You have to understand. I have three colonoscopies in a matter of a month one of those had a surgical element to it then the whole hateful liquid diet that caused constipation. THEN colon resection and bowel rerouted.

So June. That’s a LONG time to not be alike to sit down to poop and NOT think about what you’re about to do. AND it will be a few more months before it will start getting back to “normal” and let’s be realistic - normal may not be achieved any time soon.

So as gas was flying I lamented that I missed farting. 😜

AND we had Metropolis Grill Mediterranean last night for dinner. Ok. That’s a new meal for me. But really not outside the realm of what I would consider “OK to eat”. Not spicy. Nothing out if the norm. Hahaha. Yeah. Good thought.

So. With the new “work” schedule. Aka training I’m going to bed EARLY to allow me enough rest to be able to get up AND function. So far so good. I’ve slept a lot. I struggle to get warm, but doing OK.

I go to bed at 9:00. Zzzzzzz. Slept HARD. Woke at 3am with a Hollister balloon. Yeah. FULL of gas!! Thumping hard!! Get up, waddle to the potty. Empty and sitting there half asleep I FARTED!! What??? Yep. My butt farted!! I was in shock and half asleep however giggled about it.

So I guess my loop played like a pressure release valve and allowed gas to flow through! Wow. So there I lay at 3am giggling as my bum got the joy of farting away! Glad nothing else was passing as I finally gave up attempting to control and let it happen!! Ha!

Butch was NOT impressed the next morning walking through as of was quite stinky! Hahahaha. He has a bad habit of sleeping on the couch!

So there ya go, be careful what you wish for!

Work getting up and moving

Ok so I didn’t tell you about my award last week. I was asked to come TO work on Friday. I finally asked if it was for something good. It was.

The award was leadership and fellowship or something like that. I need to get a picture of the award and the coin I received. It was a nice one.

It was exhausting going to work by 8:45am. It was a lot of hurry up and wait. Get the award then go home. Not horrible. A good first run at work.

Monday started with class at 7:30. Ok. It’s raining and blowing. Yuck. My toes got cold. They never got warm again. We got out of class at 2:30ish. I came home put on socks and crawled into bed for a three HOUR nap.

Yep it was a good nap. A well rested nap. I got up and rambled. Finally got up and rambled the house a bit. Then went back to bed at 9pm in an effort to get up in time for class again today.

Fine. Went to bed. Slept like a LOG. Got up at 5:30ish. Got showered. And started to get ready. Good lord. I felt SO sick. So very sick all of a sudden. Wow. So. I slapped a new bag on - praying it’s in the right spot. Didn’t have much else to do other than put it on and pray it’s in the right spot and in place. Yeah. THAT bad. I had to lay down twice. Urp. I didn’t get sick!!

Finally got things together (stuffed some crackers in and a pill) and out the door. I made it to class and ate tea and crackers all morning. Double urp. Poor tummy!! That’s a first in the last two treatments. All was well with the world.

Day two of class I was just as cold. What’s up with that?? BUT I completed the day. I came home. Ate some lunch and passed out. Zzzz slept a few hours.

I think all I’ve done today is eat and sleep!! I guess it could be worse!


Yes that is TWO fleece blankets and one has two layers of fleece. My toes may just warm up. It’s in the 70s outside so not sure why I’m so stinking cold.

Nothing else as far as symptoms go with the exception of the hand cramps. The rest is all at a dull roar. So there’s that.

Hair falling out slowly. I can live with that. Life, she goes on. Exhaustion and all. It’s all “do-able”.
