You made it 😁😁😁

Its like herding cats Eric lol

Looks like we are all finding the lounge good deal ! Haven't seen anything from Barbara probably resting . Hey Marcie I have never had bacon on pizza but why not ? Marcie can I have red ???

Hey all, doing fine. Just waiting to hear from the other surgeon. I'm pretty certain it's not going to be the 9th, but I am hoping.

Got my fish Flops for the hospital. Very very sturdy and well made. I'll bleach em after I get home, maybe use them for camp slippers or wear them to work for shits and giggles.

Bacon on Pizza is fantastic. I also like bacon on my non-sweet oatmeal with a nice poached egg, maybe a bit of parmesian cheese.

Felicity if you like a poached egg n oatmeal n bacon try a bacon n cheddar deviled egg of course with a little salt !

Meow................... 

John, your in charge of the litter box........ meow............. 

I like bacon too!! u guys!!!!!!!!!  I make a great quiche with cooked bacon (but I crumble the good parts and leave the fat behind) and swiss cheese........... Love it--But my body cant take much cheese.. But I do treat myself.. 

Felicity, your going to  make a hit!  Please send pictures when your on the way home with those fish-flops!! 

Your also going to make a hit of a great (last) surgery and recovery and we all know the recovery will take time.. but You will do well--after all this is not your first bar-a - q......  is it??

u know the route/......... Best, M.Gezzzzzzzzzz-its cold out!!!! burrrrrrrrrrrr

I sent Barb. an e-mail that she sent me of hers-personal-and nothing yet.. ahh I migh thit the blog.

Hi all,  well I have finally recovered from the gallon of Golytely that I drank last night. Jeez that is a hard way to prep.  Stella (My stoma for anyone who didn't know) is really PO'd at me for making her work that hard.  They did even more prep this morning planning on an 11:00 procedure time.  That of course left me waiting in the pre-procedure waiting room till noon.  Not too bad though, have waited longer.  The outcome:  yet more polyps than before. Many were very inflamed and more diverticuli that were left after last surgery were inlammed and nasty too.  They also scoped my rump stump and found more of the same.  All this lovely stuff was caused by a case of C-Diff (remember out chat about that?) That was worse than they thought. I didn't know that it is caused by spores rather than bacteria.  This stuff caused all the pain, swelling and cramping and turned me into one sick puppy.  Marcie you were right in the beginning, no surgery this time.  they put me out really well so since I got back to my room about 2:30 I have been sleeping it off.  I am remaining in hospital in quarantine  on a foul tasting antibiotic. Have to swallow a liquid because that is the best way into the gut. So a few more days of pain and bed rest and I can go home.  Strange to me that something as bad as this can seem like a walk in the park compared to other possibilities.  Thank you all for your kindness and concern walking with me through this. I have found even more how humor (yours) and a sounding board!

Glad to hear you are doing ok Barbara. That C Dif is awful stuff, never realized how awful until I caught it. I work around it daily at the Home, might be where I caught my case.

Hey Barbara , hope you get rid of the c diff asap , I got it after my op and it was nasty , I thought I was dying until they told me what it was , I also had to take the liquid anti biotic and while it tasted nasty it was really effective .

Hi Barb. I just woke up-When not going to infusion? I sleep in!! Glad that they found out what is wrong-(and u have so much)I hope next time your not to par.. You GET into the E.R. Asap!!  Infections can linger for a bit and we tent to go with the flow of not feeling so hot-then BINGO IT is major!! I think we all learned a lesson with this of your experience.. We are always in danger for a fast mess!! Stella, will calm down now and when she comes back to normal, u will know that things are healing NOT healed but healing.. 

You seem so much better now, and I am sure that you will have nice holidays.. A bit of a rush of holidays so lets all of us take it easy! (myself included-I tend to over do it-but this is the first year out of 4 that I am on the mends) 

Did u drive yourself in ?? Have u contacted your son yet?  Just get better-You have been through a lot..  Best. M.

How do u catch a c-diff?  

Hi Marcie, simple answer very easy, a lot of hospitals are riddled with it and its a super bug so anti bios aint going to cure

Is Ostomates more likely to get this? 

Robert? red? red what ? 

We would be in the group of folk who can easily pick up infection. If there is an open wound or the likes even more risk
