Sorry if this is posted twice but I posted and a pop up said it was not saved, ugh! Anyways here goes again LOL I wasn’t going to post daily BUT I had to post today because I’m so excited!! Today my BM was somewhat formed. It was ribbon like. It kind of reminds me in the early days of my Stomie, where my BM went from watery, to pasty, to ribbon like, then formed. I think “normal” is on the horizon, yay! I had an appointment today with my primary care doc, and I was scared to leave the house for fear of having an accident or not being close to a restroom. So I used an adult diaper when I left the house for peace of mind and carried an extra one as a precaution. All went better than expected. I even made a pitstop at the grocery store, the bakery and the farm!! I am really excited about today. I know that God will restore me!! I still have rectal pain and side pain. The rectal pain is only when I’m about to have a BM or when I hold it, so I don’t hold it and I expect that the side pain will remain for a while since I had the same pain for months when Stomie arrived. I also had some nerve pain in my shoulders about an hour ago that lasted for 30 minutes or so. It’s nothing bad just bothersome. Tomorrow I have a follow up appointment with my surgeon so I will post tomorrow based on that visit then I’ll just post milestones. Rocky Is my favorite movie of all time since I first watched it as a kid. You know that famous part where he reaches the top of the steps and he raises his arms? That’s how I feel right now LOL The lyrics to Gonna Fly Now: “Gettin stronger, won’t be long now” You know the song!! 🥊💪🏽 I hope that all of you have a super fantastic and blessed day! Until tomorrow, have a good night!
