Wide awake at 2:38 a.m. might be one of the scariest, darkest, loneliest
experiences in the world. I'm back to sitting up at my laptop, trying
to also move around a bit more.Working on making the necessary changes
to keep my gut from hurting with the tension of all the adjustments I need
to make. Sometimes, doctors don't tell their patients all they need to
know, and they are left scrambling to figure things out.
Given Truths
#1: Low moments come.
#2: You're gonna need some help. It's okay to ask. Given Truths
#1: Low moments come.
#3: Sometimes, acknowledging the darkness is enough to send it packing.
#4: If not, find yourself a safe place to scream, whine and b*tch without the need to feel perky.

I'm having trouble adjusting to the dietary changes that are necessary after my surgery. It's a matter of seeing what works for my body. It's like walking around with a bit of a tummy ache all the time, because you aren't feeding your tummy what comforts it and helps its little feelings. Food in the South is a source of comfort and love and eating is a way of enjoying life. My tummy is not at all happy, most of the time. I told my family earlier today that it is distraught, and misses its little colon friend. I don't know how to comfort my tummy.

I should soon know what stage my cancer is in, and will have an idea of what further treatment I will have to endure. I'm told my body will adapt. I even know of some folks whose bodies have adapted. I'll keep you posted. I've been told I'm courageous. My aim here is to be as vulnerable and honest as I can be. I would appreciate your prayers and holding the light for me. Even in the depths of darkness, there is light and love that will carry us through those times.
