Welp...

HHHHHeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy....
     Can I just say... I am SO READY to go home. Hospital beds are not the most comfortable things on the planet, and unfortunately I didn't have the best nurse last night. But, I awoke to two great nurses today, so they are making up for the bad one last night:) One of my most favorite nurses was Shantae. She would come in and laugh with me, and hang out while my parents were at lunch. We would talk about hair or nails or anything girly. But one of the main reasons I loved Shantae, is because she loved her job. A lot of these nurses don't like coming to work, and that reflects off them when they handle their patients. God bless sweet Shantae:) She was an angel.

Me and sweet nurse Shantae...  Isn't she beautiful:)

     So today has been SUPER low key, and quite boring. I went on a few walks, watched some Fairly Odd Parents, slept way too much, and dwittled on the computer... yes, I said dwittled:) We just talked to my doctor, and he is predicting that I can go home Wednesday. Tomorrow they will cut me off all IV  pain meds, and I will be on strictly oral meds. My stoma and tummy muscles have been pretty sore today, because of the lack of morphine and IV pain meds, so pray that my body will get used to my new lifestyle for the next few months.
     One thing I would also like some prayer for is for my self esteem. I was watching a stupid gymnastic show today, and Satan was having a glorious time pointing out to me that my stomach will never be the same again. Im so thankful that the style right now is baggy shirts and tight pants, because that will hide my stoma and bag so well... But its hard to know that I cant wear a pretty dress for a while, or even a normal t-shirt, without looking like I have a tumor or a baby on one side of my belly. As much as I am so thankful for my procedure and this bag, I am having a hard time getting used to it, and getting used to my body again. I gotta keep remembering, its more about whats on the inside that counts...
     Well, I'm signing off for today. I love you all sweet friends, and I cant wait to see each one of you.

Hugs and Blessings <3
