It is the 15th of March. So, all going well, I'll be on the table sometime that afternoon. I have my hernias fixed along with this weeping sinus that has plagued me for 4 years, and I'll be ready to get to work with a flatter belly and no more aches.

I’d like to write a nice review
that might express something quite new.
Then I read previous points of view,
which said the things I wanted to.
I would endorse the things I’ve read
about what other folks have said,
for these are the benefits and things
that joining a site like this can bring.
When I was an initiate, (novice)
it seemed to be appropriate
to express myself in rhyme
as this is how I spend my time.
When contemplating what to write
with contributing to this site,
it seemed to me, my ostomy
could be expressed in poetry.
Thus, when I had something to say,
a rhyme, for me seemed the best way,
for rhymes can often capture stuff
that prose don’t capture quite enough.
I do appreciate the way,
this site lets people have their say
in whatever mode they will
about the things that make them ill.
There are not many forums for
discussing stuff most folks abhor.
So, this site fulfils a small niche,
where angst and problems can unleash.
Where raw emotions can decant,
so, folks feel free to have a rant,
and we can all associate
is something I appreciate.

How to Get Back to Fitness After Ostomy Surgery with Ryan | Hollister

Thank you, everyone. After 4 bowel operations and 2 ileostomies, I'm not even worried about this one. Just a walk in the park, and besides, what can go wrong? Good surgeon, good nurses, what can I say? Today is our wedding anniversary, 6 years married and never an argument. Some tense moments, but never a bad word. Had a lovely seafood platter for lunch and coffee and cake, but tomorrow it's back to the grind and into the gym to lose about another 10 kilos and get fitter before surgery. Thanks again for the good wishes, and I hope every one of you is kept safe and takes care.
