So real quick before I head in for work…
Had "the talk" with the girl I've been seeing last night. Told her about the soft-serve nozzle in my abdomen (using slightly different terminology, of course). It actually went really well!
It helps that she's pretty awesome. I pretty much had her figured for someone who could handle it, but you never know. Some people just have hang-ups. Even cool people like you and me. It's not really a rational thing, but it happens from time to time.
So here are my nebulous thoughts on the matter this morning. Maybe it will help some of you. Some may scoff :)
1) This one applies to life in general, ostomates and non-ostomates: avoid shallow people
2) The person you are interested in can only be as comfortable with your situation as you are.
3) Rehearsing one side of a conversation is useless. "Display some @#$!ing adaptability!" (Bonus points if you recognize the quote)
I can't believe how great these past few months have been since surgery and healing up. They've just been filled with things I never thought I'd be able to do again!
I think that's pretty much it. For now.
Good luck!
Matt
