So yesterday, as the day went on, my catheter began to really hurt me. I couldn't get comfortable or ease the pain. I told my husband over the phone that it was to the point that I felt like my body was saying it needed to come out. I called my u...

Where I Am Now

by Pixie

Mar 09, 2022 - Mar 21, 2022

I'm not usually an angry or aggressive person. If you notice in my earlier blogs, I tend to withdrawl rather than lash out. But the combination of the surprise of what surgery was planned, the lack of communication WITH ME, my lack of having had a...

World Turned Upside Down

by Pixie

Mar 08, 2022 - Mar 09, 2022

It was just a simple dinner. Baked pork chops with mushrooms and potates. It smelled great when I took it out of the oven and we ate and watched a little TV. Afterward, my husband went to bed but my stomach didn't feel right so I was going to wait...

New Doctor

Mar 08, 2022

I found my new doctor online. The main thing about their website was the focus on listening to their patients which was music to my ears.

The Colonoscopy

by Pixie

Mar 07, 2022 - Mar 08, 2022

To be honest, I never wanted to ever have a colonoscopy. I guess I knew that someday I would because its a great preventative test but I wasn't there yet. That is until all this stuff started with my stomach and bowels. That forced me over the yuc...

Am I in the right place?

Mar 07, 2022 - Mar 08, 2022

I need to scream and shout and yell at the top of my lungs. I need to be heard. I need to get things off my chest. These posts will be TL;DR and I'm tired of not being heard. I want people t o hear what I have to say. To listen to what happened to...
