Hi ostofriends.
The revision of the revision of my stoma has been interesting.
May all our colons and/or small intestines shake like the bow of a willow tree and put us in awe of something so flawed and free...
I have made this my colon song:

Excellent choice Bellily, love Hozier's voice. Here's to moving!
"I still watch you when you're groovin'
As if through water from the bottom of a pool
You're movin' without movin'
And when you move, I'm moved
You are a call to motion
There, all of you a verb in perfect view
Like Jonah on the ocean
When you move, I'm moved"
Hello Bellily.
Thanks for introducing us to this mullti-faceted and multi-talented young man, who puts across a powerful message in a fascinating way. Most enjoyable!
Best wishes
Bill
I'm glad y'all are liking this song.
As I'm singing it (loudly and with feeling and frequently) in the car, I assumed it said "when you move, I move" (vs. I'm moved, although I am).
This "I'm moved" adds a whole new dimension.
I had my post-surgery appointment today. This "self-maturing" stoma is beginning to look like a stoma (vs. a bloody stump monster) and the surgeon is pleased with himself about it.
I tried to pose questions about the way I've been feeling post-surgery, all the moods and cramps and feebleness I'm attributing to this anthropomorphized organ feeling very wronged by being cut on. He didn't bite, didn't take the organ having feelings into consideration. Metamucil was his suggestion. Retrain it like the digestion dog it is. OK.
