Well this is (hopefully) the last weekend with my colostomy….I am off to “Oz” on Wednesday – (colonoscopy) – then Thursday – (reversal)…..so hopefully all the munchkins (internal organs) will be willing to work with me – and the reversal will go with out any wicked witches around!

Alittle nervous...and really don't want to be in the hospital for 5-7 days....hate being away from my children and I do love "home sweet home!"

I am 9 weeks post folfox...and I am really feeling good...now just the pre-gitters are with me this weekend!



Hope all of you have a very special Mother's Day tomorrow and spend quality time with your families!

Thank you again for being my extended family - we will make it thur

cool video - done by one of my friends...

    Yep, CRC surgeons are Wizards; I consider mine a magician.
    who hopefully made my tumor and its tentacles vanish forever as well as created a new, permanent oriface thru which my waste can pass. Wishing the best of results on your reversal.....steve

    Good luck with the reversal!
    Good luck with the reversal! My ileostomy was reversed in Sept and went fine, 2 days in the hospital only.

    Good Luck. I know how you
    Good Luck. I know how you feel about being away from the kids. I hate every time I have to be away from my daughter because of treatments.

    Michelle:)
    Ho Ho Ho!

    Well, Michelle...it's your time now - hope yours goes splendidly. Be prepared to take some time though - plug & play does not always happen immediately. Once you re-route the plumbing, things take time to re-learn, so just be patient and remember that this is what you worked so hard for - to be reversed. And now, you're right there at the summit. Could not be more proud for you.

    I'll be thinking about you and hoping the surgery is a success:)

    Thanks for the reminder - got you on my calendar now.

    All the very best!
    Thanks for the video. Inspiration for my day.

    I hope all goes well along the "yellow brick road". The scariest things are those flying monkeys! You are not likely to meet any of them.

    Sending you good thoughts
    I am thinking of you and hoping for an "easy" colonscopy on Wednesday (but really, all the "fun" is the day before, right?) and for an un-eventful and successful surgery on Thursday.
