One more thing.

I went for my first after DX MRI tonite. They postponed it because they want to check
and see that I can have a MRI because of a previous surgery.

I almost started crying in the waiting room, and after I found out they couldn't do it,
after I had changed and everything into the gown, I almost lost it completely.

I told the Tech/nurse that "it is just one more thing...."
and I added, "I have had alot of one more things lately, almost more than I can bear."

We will try for next week, MRI and CT.

I like the posts about laughter. I wish there was something I could laugh about right now.

blessings,

Amy

    Here ya go......
    I have an ostomy at the sigmoid. I was at my moms house one morning when my sis from Frankfort Ky came in to visit. I was talking and through a hand gesture I knocked off my bag. I simply grabbed my shirt and bunched it up and started to leave. When she asked what was wrong I simply replied, "I sh!t in my shirt"...That was the easy part. The shirt was brand new and I couldn't bear the thoughts of cutting it off (no buttons on it) so here I was stretching it as much as possible to keep poop away from my face and trying to get it off to clean it.....Not a good day for me......Then another night where my bag had come off and that every time I would partially wake up I would tell my wife "honey, your breath is awful", about an hour later the same "honey you have to brush your teeth your breath smells like crap". Well, when I actually woke up enough to realize what had really happened it looked like I had a hula hoop around me, yeah it was some kinda nasty. My wife and I at 5:30 in the morning had the biggest laugh we have ever had .....I still get reminded of that a lot...so see Amy, look for the laughter in things , its there, we just have to be a little sadistic to find it.......{{{{{{big hugs}}}}}} ...Clift

    OMG BRO!
    I nearly peed myself laughing here, thanks for a good start to my morning!!!

    My son and daughter had fallen asleep in my bed while we were watching a movie (we had just played some board games, and just got wiped out at night, so they fell asleep with me), and I woke up to such a smell, I thought my son had been farting, because he just likes to gross us out by doing that anyway, and I looked at him to see if he was awake, but he wasn't! So, I figured he was just passing gas in his sleep.

    Well, needless to say, I felt something really wet all over my belly! I must have knocked my bag off in my sleep, and it was coming all out of me, and I got up and RAN to the bathroom, holding my hand to where the bag was half off, and my kids woke up to such a stench, seeing diarrhea streaming to the floor, this was at 3:00 a.m., I spent hours cleaning my bathroom, my bedroom, my clothes, I was so embarrassed, but my kids were just laughing because of how bad it stunk, man, we had to air those rooms out for a few days, it was just a mess! I now make sure my bag is on tightly before bed now!!

    Hugsss!

    Bag Lady
    IF I have to have an ostomy of the Sigmoid (where my cancer is) would that make me
    a "Bag Lady?"

    Blessings to both of you!

    My reasons for being grateful for having a bag......
    Come colonoscopy time there is no raw butt.......scope is simple and you can actually go out while you clean out........#1 reason for being grateful about having a bag....I don't have to drink but 2 -8 oz bottles of Mag citrate to get completely cleaned out....Life is good again...Also I never have to quit fishing to go to the bank to poop.....LOL....yep, life is good..........
