How Are You Feeling Right Now?

I can’t sleep. Tired but just can’t drift off. Hate it when that happens. I land up sleeping in, in the morning till late to catch up and my whole day shifts out of sink. So difficult to get it back again. Still testing positive for covid and now my jaw hurts!! Covid is weird. I wish it would make up its mind. One minute feeling a little better, next random joints all over your body decide to hurt for no reason.
Now I’m waffling because I’m bored. 🤣🤣
UGH! Come on sleep.

He may not actually need a permanent colostomy bag but apparently removing that part of his rectum (which is essentially "storage") will take away his ability to delay moving his bowels. He's not sure exactly how much. Like I said in another thread he will still have his anal sphincter so accidents may not be inevitable but there will be "urgency."

I guess much of the issues is that it's not colon cancer, it's rectal cancer and the rectum is not as large as the colon. Anyway, I spoke to him and he said he will at least delay, and apparently the doctor said the area looks better than it did even 2 weeks ago when he had his initial post-radiation/chemo scans. He's not taking any medication at the moment so I pushed the tumeric a bit and said I will send him studies. I would never push the option on him but the studies are real, scientific studies done as medical research.
Saint Peregrine is the patron saint for people with cancer..I'll ask the saint to pray for your brother..I hope you do too..hugs.. 🫂

Glad to hear it but careful - this happens to me as the sleep deprivation causes an amphetamine-like adrenaline rush and I feel great, but then a crash comes. So your wife probably had it right to slow down! I sincerely hope you don't get a crash and can get a decent sleep tonight!
