Okay.....so I have been waiting for a "return" call from my surgeon on the date of the BIG reversal.....yesterday I finally got the "call"......my expectations were "4 weeks" and I would have the "reversal".......this IS NOT the case.....and I was  totally taken by surprise and emotionally it drained me yesterday.....once again....I needed to wrap my head around this for varies reason's......the deal is this......in "mid" September they do the CT scan with some sort of dye that will "glow" if there is a leakage with the resection......if this happens we wait again (I do not know for how long) and test again....if nothing "glows" we can schedule the reversal.....this could be as late as mid October....I am NOT happy.....and don't care to talk about it....I will be focusing on other things at the house for now (remember my challenges with the "shit bag" and my blood pressure which will keep me mostly house bound).....I have some personal goals ......and will continue to workout and and build my muscles.....so when the reversal is complete in mid fall......I WILL come back with a "BANG"!!!!!

First a few funny stories I meant to add while my stay in the hospital (keep in mind I DO NOT remember any of this).....this will be one of my "Blah's"

"Did you see that.......she came right in my room and spit in my colostomy bag......who the hell would do that".......Nope that "penis" cake just isn't big enough......seriously Kathy you and George just need to get married.......Dave NEVER comes here to visit....he is always taking care of those damn cats and when he does come here he only eats my food and "sits"....he is a sitter ya know....Arla....I don't think they will let you take that big cup over the border.....you need to leave that here.....OMG......drugs....what they do to your head.......okay...now for the update of yesterdays procedure.

Luck was on my side from the gate.......when I walked in seems everyone remembered me and knew all about my history.......I think they are going to start charging me rent....LOL.....I have gained 3 pounds and they are just thrilled......I was in and out in 30 minutes......woke up fast asked for water and said can I go home now.....the nurse looked at me and said seriously.....we thought you would be here at least an hour...you never wake up.....I said well....I'm awake and hunger and want to go home....she said.....I will get your pain meds....I said for what I'm in no pain......she said really.....I said yup....can I get dressed....she said I will call Dave......he was there in 10 minutes and I was out of there.....woooohooo....okay now the news for the reversal......I have to wait 4 weeks.....cake....i can do that.....I called today and they are trying to schedule the first week in September.....this is only a 3 days stay in the hospital to ensure your bowels are functioning properly and is just like a "topical" surgery where the colostomy bag is, no digging around in my stomach and removing organs and shoving back in....thank goodness......also....since the drain tube was removed yesterday....I'm like a new women....NO pain at all....No Tylenol at all......now only my Blood pressure meds and an anti diarrhea pill  to try to slow down the process of my food (not sure it's really helping a whole lot). I feel 95% myself......soooo I'm super excited for the reversal and to be able to get back to "me"....as it's been over 2 years and I have forgotten how good I can feel......I am cancer free and will continue with CT scans and blood test to make sure nothing has reoccurred for whatever the time frame is they say......the count down will begin when I get an official date of the reversal..I'm sure I will be posting the count down on FB so you might want to "unfollow" me......lol......I am one happy lady and super duper excited for the challenging journey to come to an end and to move on with my life.......
