Guess who? Been a long time, eh? Life sure has a way of keeping one busy, now doesn't it? I know I said I was back, but it wasn't to be. Just not enough hours in a day I suppose. But I think I can make some time to hang with you good folks.........but no promises this time. So.........last time we chatted I was dealing with my friend and his adventure in drug rehab. That actually went pretty well, all things considered. And just as I thought the smoke was clearing from that one..........he pulled me aside and told me he had prostate cancer. And it had metastasized to his back........and he decided to just ride it out instead of doing the medical thing. UGGGHH! That same afternoon another friend told me he has a lump on his lung.......is this nuts or what? So I had to have a long chat with friend #1, then get him all the info on prostate cancer and what he could do about it at this point. Got him in touch with the cancer treatment folks at both Hopkins and Georgetown, and he's working on a plan. Friend #2 is a bit more stubborn, so he's a work in progress. Then to top it all off, friend #3, a guy I life-coach, got a notification at work that his performance sucks. It's because his mental faculties are degrading, but I had to jump into that one as well and put that fire out before it got ugly. He's a little less urgent problem, but he requires a lot of attention, so you can see why I just don't spend a lot of time in online forums. But I will say that these guys sure made me forget about my shitbag and how it sucks to have one. The good news is I've fully mastered getting 2 hours of sleep a night and I can get a heck of a lot more done now........so win-win.
Ostomy-wise I'll catch up on what's been going on here by reading the posts I've missed......and there must be a ton of them, and then I've got a few things to post about so I can get back in the rotation, so to speak. Hope you're all doing well.........it looks like this place has changed a little bit.....might have to re-familiarize myself too. Don't know if I'll be able to jump on here every night........but hopefully a couple of times a week. Funny, but the theme from Welcome Back Kotter just started playing in my head..........go figure.
