Off to the doctor's at 2 today. It is raised around the bottom of the stoma; I hope it is not another hernia. I have a urine infection too, I think. Just want to curl up in a ball at the moment.

By the time you read this, you will know what is happening. At least the not knowing will be over. I am holding in my heart and thoughts that it is not serious. I hope you share it all soon.
I wrote a long response, then erased it. I just want to say, I care.

I have decided that I don't believe in time. It is just too difficult to try and keep up with. It is 8:15 PM on my clock.
Easier... you are past lunch and I am past dinner. But I will be awake (all night many nights) - so let me know when you know - please.

Ok, better get going. I live in New Zealand in a town called Wanganui.

Not again, girl. You were going so well. I have two, one on each side, been swapped over like you. I'm not worried, just feels like a sharp twist. Jill, that's your name, am I right or wrong again? Darl, I hope it's not so bad. Remember, not so heavy lifting. Okay, I am guilty of doing it but was never ever told not to lift heavy things. My fellow ostomy volunteer has one from lifting her shopping, so am I f***ed, hahaha. Hope you're okay; if not, grab yourself some unisex boxers, black, free here. I'm sure it's the same in New Zealand. Mooza...xxxx

mooza - don't know how to contact you - got your comments on my pictures - we could have lots to talk about - I am not a full member - can't send messages. 2012 stuff is one interest - no, I am not frightened about it. I do have a website. You could probably guess what to put after the dot that comes after the name I use on this site.
Are you concerned about airforce1? I have been surprised to not see a follow-up post. I am checking this post often.
