Too tired to write much now though I do want to say that I feel a lot of pressure to use my "second chance" to do something meaningful with my life. I think I'm depressed.
Sorry about leaving such a crappy post. I guess I'm just a bit bummed out having this huge bag hanging down. It all feels so insecure. And changing it is still kind of gross to me. I'm paranoid about leaking..... I think I gotta remember what life was like before this. Gotta put things into perspective. Gotta be strong.
Congratulations on getting home. Take care through the next week -- I found the readjustment pretty tricky, but I'm rolling with it now.
ReplyDeleteHad my first bag leak just before going to bed last night. It's not as bad a situation in reality as it is in your head. When it happens, you just deal with it. For some reason it was less gross doing it on my own, with no one to help me or discuss the situation with me, than it is when I've got a nurse there holding my hand.
Don't set any expectations on yourself for the next while. Just focus on healing!
Welcome home! Better to have a big ol' bag hanging off of you than to be running to the bathroom every 30 seconds doubled over in pain.
