For many new Ostomymates, recovery time is unknown. When will I feel like my old self? Those of us well past "post op" give pretty good estimates based on our experience.
But for me, NORMAL , always makes me laugh. From the movie, Young Frankenstein. One of my favorite scenes.
Suspicious that his creation is acting strange, Dr Frankenstein asks Igor "Did you get the brain I told you to? Igor smiles and says "yes." "What was the name of that brain?" Igor thinks for a second and says "Abby..... Abby normal."
Too funny. I say this line at work all the time. Engineers screw up.... I tell em "It's normal...... Abby normal. I chuckle.... they never even smile.
