TOP TEN THINGS I MISS MOST (or wish I could do again with ease)
10. Sitting. The tumor is located and protruding in such a way that sitting is no longer an option. I spend the bulk of my days in bed.
9. Using the bathroom like regular folk. I do my business in bags attached to my abdomen.
8. Taking regular showers. The process is time-consuming and tedious.
7. Wearing belts and form-fitting clothes. My fashion sense has been altered since I must now conceal the "ostomy/catheter" bags I'm attached to.
6. Going to the Movies. Since I can't sit, I can't go and watch the latest movies playing out right now.
5. Attending church. Talks are in progress how to make this one obstacle a reality again.
4. Going to work every day. Miss the daily interactions with co-workers and clients.
3. My appetite. I've lost twenty-two pounds in one month. Eating is a chore
2. Pain-Free existence. Pain is under control with heavy pain meds. Thank God.
1. My independence. Can't do much of anything without assistance.
