Jeans, yes!!!!
Ok, I have been recouping since March 22nd, just from ileo surgery, and I've been living in PJs or track pants since. Today is chemo treatment day. It's an all-day affair, but it's all good....why, you might ask?
Well, I will share.... The greatest feeling of today: going into my wardrobe, pulling out a couple pairs of jeans that months ago I could just squeeze into. I decided, "What the hell? You didn't lose over 40lbs for nothing (not by choice). Give it a whirl," as they say......
Took a deep breath, slid my legs in, pulled them up, zipped and buttoned them, and bang! They fit, and they even have room for my active pouch. In fact, I could still gain a few pounds for the perfect fit....can't wait!!!!
So, treatment day is going to be okay, as DAMN, I feel greatttt. I feel normal, hell, I even look normal. I'm in jeans, and all is good....It's the simplest things that can set your day. For me, it was looking good and feeling good in a pair of jeans.....
Gang life is what we decide to make it. We are not ugly monsters or different. We are still the same person, if not even a better person than post-surgeries...whether others see us that way is their loss. They are missing out on US...
Watch out world, here me and my jeans come, lol..
Stay strong, and mostly smile on!!
Adapt, conquer, overcome...
Your fellow Homie with a stomie,
