Guess which way I would answer - latest CCAC B i t c h
Once again, CCAC has refused to approve my dressing material - no reason given to me and none that my nurse will share. Thank God my wound care nurse from the hospital (she's AWESOME) is going to supply the dressing material. Really, how long does CCAC want to look after me and pay for medical and ostomy supplies? The Hollister product that my wound care nurse is using would be far cheaper for CCAC in the long term than something else that will take much longer for me to heal if it works and be discharged from their care while they are still supplying all of the rest of my medical needs. I keep thinking that this must be a joke - surely no company would want to spend more money long term and take a small hit up front?
It just pisses me off to no end to have to put up with this kind of backward thinking, never mind the fact that the longer they screw around with alternatives, the longer it takes for me to heal and go back to work!!!
UGH!!!!

Hi Crossley. Ya know, I think it’s all about feelings. I don’t mean the pain feelings which could control everything. I mean the feelings inside our heads, our hearts and even our souls. I mean the feelings of who we are now compared to who we were; how we accept our situation or maybe we don’t. My wife asked how I felt and I said, “like crap”. She asked what hurt and I answered, “Nothing hurts, well, everything hurts, I don’t know, It all sucks.” That was a long time ago. You question if your feelings are normal. How normal is it to relocate your butt hole to your belly where it’s usually in the way of your belt and, you know. But that’s where we are and for lots of us we are so much better off than we were before, physically. Emotionally, psychologically, well, that might be a different story. I believe talk therapy is wonderful if we could find a real empathic or sympathetic listener. So guess what! I found MAO and began “talking” with a keyboard with some of the wisest, kindest most sympathetic and compassionate folks on the planet. Regardless of where we’ve been, lots of folks here have been there and worse places and found their way back healthier and happier. We really do help each other.
Keep “talking”,
Mike

Grandy stands for Community Care Access Centre - they provide home nursing care, buy your medical supplies, and in my case, ostomy supplies, etc., until I am released back into the wild.
