Hi Greg!
Yes, i do realize the importance of learning to accept this soon to happen change. I did have a phone call with a nurse from the hospital, to review meds, and told her some of my reservations.. her reply was to wait until the 15th when i go to the pre-admission clinic and tell the nurse then. Yours is a good suggestion and I will call the hospital and see if i can speak with a stoma nurse ahead of time.
I have never been known to have thick skin.. I can only hope that some form of humor takes over instead of the hurt. Perhaps too, it is that stress and ‘down’ levels are high lately.
I look forward to being in the ranks of ‘alivers/survivors and thrivers’!
I can’t thank you enough for your positive comments, will turn them into mantras.. I CAN do this! I WILL do this! and come out the other side of RC with new hope and grace.
