About
In October 2022 I was rushed into emergency surgery for sudden-onset rectal prolapse and excruciating pain and came out without a colon and a permanent ileostomy. I'm still in the adaptation-to-a-new-digestive-system stage. Home health nurses have been a blessing, but they will soon discharge me. I have not yet resumed my normal activities like volunteering at a day shelter for people experiencing homelessness and taking Pilates classes, but I hope to in a few weeks.
