Hi everyone,

I can't remember the last time I was on this site. A lot has been going on with me. My daughter, son-in-law, and grandsons have been living with me since December 2013. It is getting stressful, to say the least. Hopefully, they will move out soon.

Still no leaks, yay! I love it. I no longer use the "ring"; I have been using the stoma paste instead. I change it out every 5 to 7 days. Not a lot of skin breakdown anymore.

I went to the doctor/ER last weekend due to having problems with my feet swelling along with my knee and hands. I am going to see an arthritis (sp) doctor and other specialists. They did a CT scan just to make sure my kidney is working and there are no problems. But I never realized exactly what was done during my last surgery; my gallbladder isn't in the place where other people's are. Mine is right by my stoma, no wonder it hurts at times.

My kids are ready for me to start dating. But I feel with my health issues, who will want to be a part of my life.

Hope everyone is doing well

Bill

Thank you, Bill. I appreciate it. Lately, I have been fighting depression. There are days that I am okay about having the bag back, and then there are days I still cry and feel down. Towards the end of the day, I am feeling better.

Oh blessed, oh blessed, it is a test... You've got loads going on and the rest... I'm sure there are days you're feeling blue... not really knowing what to do... We've all cried those tears... and had those fears... It seems like days are as long as years... So blessed, oh blessed... it's never too late... to find yourself a nice fun date...
