It is not quite 9 yet. I am in bed. It’s been a long two days. Finishing up some projects at work, packing, and realizing that there’s much more time between now and surgery. Ever since I started taking Imodium on a consistent basis, things seem to be getting better. No leaks in 3 nights. I changed it Sunday mid-day. My skin is looking better. Not 100%, but close. 9 more days and I’ll be on my way to Florida for a family cruise. I’m about ready to get out of Myrtle for a week. I plan on packing enough supplies for me to leak every night. You can never be too careful. As I pack for the vacation I’m simultaneously moving all my stuff back into my parents. I will recover for a few months there and then find a new place to live. So I guess starting July 9th, I’m homeless for a little bit. Once again I have a bachelor party and wedding to motivate me to heal quickly so I can enjoy myself. The bachelor party will be over a month after surgery and the wedding will be two months after. Atlantic City and then wedding is in New York. Should be another fun one. Which reminds me, I’ve got to go get fitted for my tux. I’ve still got 10 more pounds to gain. I was hoping to have gained everything back before the next surgery but that’s not looking so good. I’m more nervous going into this surgery. Not sure why that is. It’s just a very deflating feeling to know I have to go through all that stuff again. Walking again. Catheter. J-drain. Pain. I’ll have to watch what I eat more carefully this time. I hear there’s more pain internally while I try to pass gas for the first time. Ugh. It’s enough to make me want to disappear on one of those islands in two weeks and not come back. Don’t worry I’ll still blog from Coco Kay if that’s where I end up. It’ll get real messy when I run out of bags.

 I’m going to watch Chappie, and fall asleep. Shouldn’t be a busy day in the office tomorrow. When I get home I’ll continue to pack some stuff.  Thanks for continuing to read, hope what insight I share is helping if that’s what you’re here for, and remember, I’m one click away if you have any questions or advice.
