Merry Christmas

Anybody in the mood for some Christmas music?  lol  I always play this CD in my car around this time of year.  It's John Prine's Christmas Album.  If you like John Prine and country rock, I think you'll love it. Go to Utube and type it in.   My favorite song on thre is Silent Night All Day Long..and I loves his take on Silver Bells and I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus too.  Heck, I like all the songs on that album.  If you haven't heard it, give it a try and let me know what you think....and Merry Christma...

Hello my fellow Ostomates... It seems as I grow older what makes me most happy is little people (kids). Perhaps it because they genuine! On thanksgiving I got up early and cooked for my parents, and my husband and daughter took the food. My siblings were there with their families. I was quite content that my parents were in good spirits. Most of my time was spent in bed, my entertainment was television, but watching things that made me laugh, I don't do that vey often, but its truly good for the soul. I watched p...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone ,I'm thankful for my life after surgery and then some ....

Does anyone ever really use the chat room here? I go there daily to see who is on and on occasion there are people In there but no one ever talks! Does it not work well? 

My surgery went pretty well.  It will be 4 weeks on Nov 25th.  I want to go back to work but the boss said I have to have a full release with no restrictions.  The doc said I can work with A 30 pound weight restriction until Dec 10th.  Do you think they could make a reasonable consideration for two weeks??  NO!  All I do is drive patients to their doctor appointments or take them out for groceries or socialization!  They could give me ambulatory people until the 10th!!  I hate sitting around here jus...

Hi, so I am here to say goodbye to this group which I love so much. My husband says I am in this group every 2 seconds and he can't stand it anymore. Well we argued and he told me to choose between him or the group, therefore I'm gonna be offline for a couple hours while I pack his bags and send him on his way I will be back shortly

I heard about this 6 year old boy standing in the church lobby. He was staring at the plaque on the wall, it was filled with names and small flags beside them. He asked the pastor-what was all the names for? The pastor explained how that was a memorial, for all the young men and woman that died in the service. The little boy stood there silently , so concerned. He finally looked up and asked the pastor,  was it the 8:30 or 11:00 service.? I heard it from a speaker and wanted to share, hope you enjoy it.

Thursday was one week since my surgery.  I took off the bandage and just have the stery strips. I will let those fall off on their own.  My main issue now is I cannot shake the severe pain in between the shoulder blades, on the outside of my right shoulder blade.  That is where the C6 nerve passes through.  Now this nerve has been compressed for quite awhile so it is expected that it will be some time to hopefully get better.  However, I am in excruciating pain from this nerve and although some of the numbness is b...

Hi I wasn't sure where to post this as it isn't to do with ostomys. I recently had surgery for my recto vaginal fistula about 3 weeks ago. I have an illeostomy as well to stop the faeces from coming through. The surgery was an advancement flap. The fistula is quite big and close to the sphincter muscles so quite complicated. I basically had two surgeries in one as I had a vaginal septum which they removed and then used to cover the fistula with. If anyone has had surgery is it normal to still have gas through the vagina? It's making me thi...

Well, I have been home now for two days after spending one day in the hospital.  I did pretty well I think.  The doctor said he had to spread my neck a little more than most as it had flattened the nerve quite a bit.  So far, my forearm is back 100% and my thumb is back at 50%.  However, there is a spot in the middle part of my back behind my right shoulder that still has pain.  The doctor says he thinks it will ease up as the nerve gets back to normal so for right now, I am keeping ice on it as heat makes it hurt ...
