Everyone tells me that these procedures are routine, no big deal. I was told this just yesterday by a friend of mine minutes before I went into surgery for the port placement.

I have a lot to say but not tonight. It has been a very rough two days. They have increased my bowel regimen to include enimas administered through my now raw and traumatized stoma. It has been painful and exhausting. I am going home tomorrow. I cannot wait. I have to have two more enimasContinue reading “June 24, 2020”

Very sick. Excruciating pain. Nauseated. Emergency x-rays and exam tonight. Given all kinds of medicine to move the stool. No results. Terribly sick. Can’t write. Love, Molly2923

This is an otherworldly experience. The outside world has ceased to exist. I wake up in the dark, take a walk around the hospital floor – shuffling, shuffling, come back to bed, sleep some more, get woken up for my morning blood tests, have my vitals taken, take my medicines at regular intervals, meet withContinue reading “June 15, 2020”

I am still alive. I have so much to say but I can only type with one finger and can’t see all the keys. I had surgery yesterday at 8:30 am and was in recovery until 5:00 pm. The surgery should not have been performed. It is 5:30 am now and the hospital floor isContinue reading “June 14, 2020”
