Hi Belinda, how are you doing, girl?... Ok, operations.... Well, since I was 17, they have been taking bits of the small bowel. Three ops in about 5 years back in the 80's. Then 4 years back, they took the rest of the small bowel. Mind you, the second op I had, they told me it was the appendix, yeah right. That's why I woke up with the same pain. Bloody idiots. So, the colon and large bowel are left now. Fortunately, from the bum up.... 12 inches or so are not affected yet. But from the top down.... about 3/4 of it is affected. Explains the feelings I have been getting lately. Deja vu all over again but not as bad yet. I was told in the beginning that the pills I'm on would keep it away... not so... just keeps the flare-ups from happening it seems.
Belinda, I'm not sure what questions to ask..... All I do know is they are not giving me one bum... sorry, only way I know how to put it. Not for any perverted reason or anything... But I just don't want to go there. To me, that will at least make me feel as normal as possible... know what I mean? Or is it just my mentality? Ok, maybe we shouldn't look for that answer... lmao.
As far as the winter in Cairns goes?.. Been bloody cold, thanks... Got the flu twice in 8 weeks. But it's only cold till the sun comes up. Lol. I'm up and going to work at 5 am. Won't be long now and the heat will be back.... Then I start to suffer all over again. Came here for the humidity, now it just about kills me. You will know the locals if you ever got here.... we are the ones wearing the jackets and jumpers. (And no, I don't complain all the time about the weather... got better things to do).
Anyway, Belinda, hope you're doing well and thanks for replying.... Thought that nobody out there had had a total colectomy.... again... yeah right! Cheers, Belinda. Take care... Tara xx
