I don't know; some days my Stella just feels like she is part of me, now other days I look down at the bag and think this damn thing is gross. I don't linger in this feeling because it's no place to be. My journey has been, I hope, like you all. I need a connection where we are on the same cloud, as rainy as it can be in your life. Not so long ago, I did not have a 50-foot oxygen tube following me around. Damn it, the thing gets caught on the smallest thing. Sometimes I see how far I can drag it with a variety of things, lol. This is my favorite season; most people are more open to having a tender heart, finding the good in humans, getting a tear for a certain Christmas song. Mine is "Oh Holy Night." Life can make you fall on your knees at times, so grateful it is your heart so moved by a babe in a manger, or you are still standing when your life is all you can do is breathe and wait until it passes. I have been waiting to lay me out on the line even though I am afraid. I have to spill my guts... I read a lot of you all, maybe a little, I know you, so glad you all are here like a special pen pal, lol, like you know just how it feels to have a passenger on your body.... Have a wonderful holiday season everyone, many gums as we can take, pecans were a bad decision but sure was good. Carol. B

 

 

 

 

A feeling hangs on me, and I feel I cannot find my normal anymore.

Mine was a quick, unexpected illness, except for a couple of times being a crazy, in pain person in the worst pain for hours. How did you all do it for years? I feel very much for you all, and I do feel a connection. Sometimes I want to just write to you all; I am so glad you all are here, as shitty as it is.

Sorry, I did not see errors. I meant yum pecans and quite a few other words. I wear size 6 ring, but feel I have sausage fingers when I type, and it takes so long, lol.

Cburton027, we all have bad days and need to unload. Thankfully, we have this site to come to. I love this season of the year too. It has sad memories in one respect as I have lost 5 siblings in December right at Christmas time, but it does offer hope for better days ahead. I love all the hustle and bustle and festive things, also the music. "Mary Did You Know" is one of my favorite songs of the season, along with "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire." Nat King Cole singing it is the best version, in my opinion. I went to a live Nativity presentation last night. The line was horrendous but well worth the wait. Merry Christmas to you and all our fellow ostomates. Happy Hanukkah 🕎 to our Jewish friends.

Like Morning glory said, we have all been there. Feel free to post anytime. I just turned 81 in November and have a lot of other health problems. Sometimes I just feel hopeless, but then I remember who is in control. Just do the best you can and try to look at the bright side. When I look around, I can see some people worse than me, and it makes me thankful I can still get up and go, even if it is a lot slower.
