Today was interesting, I managed to stay up all night (so I've been awake for 48 hours straight :D). Now what did I choose to do with my time? OZ the prison drama and Fallout New Vegas of course ;). Anyway, my supplies finally came in from the Health Care Place. I had an EPIC battle with "King" today when I was doing the change. The Hollister bags I was using weren't working well, so I did the change and dear God did it fucking hurt like hell! Coloplast Brava strips should not be applied directly to your skin with a hair dryer on high... hahaha.... Anyway when I was getting everything done I put on the new tech wrong, (I didn't know how to use my new waterproof seals), so I had to do the change like three different times. Then while I was in the shower with no pouch on "King" decided to be a little prick and poop all over the tub, then all over the carpet, then on my pants etc. etc. Fucking asshole, (hey I made a pun :), get it asshole)? However I won the epic battle with minimum damage to the walls and my clothing (not gonna lie I punched a few things and screamed a bit, luckily nobody was home).
Another good thing happened to me today, this girl I like agreed to go out with me next week :), I'm incredibly excited! I've known here since my sophomore year and always had a bit of a thing for her, but she was always dating someone. We went to a big party at Zeta Beta Tau about two months before my surgery and kind of had a thing for a bit, but there was some drama there (ladies please don't break your sobriety when I'm trying to get some, it's a major cockblock). Anyway I'm about as excited as can be about this!
I also wrote a letter to a guy who has the disease I used to have at my old Military School. Poor guy... I still remember trying to cope with all the issues of the disease (that was undiagnosed at the time) while simultaneously trying to be all you can be and all that jazz. I survived, no, not only that I excelled while I was there, and this guy I think will do the same.
At the end of every blogpost that I write from now on I'm going to be posting a little addendum (kind of a liability waiver), this blog... it's full of (or will be full of) swear words, sex, parties, fights, my true feelings on matter etc. etc. I'm not trying to be an asshole, but you know what? When you have some crazy disease that nearly kills you everybody expects you to be this huge role model when you come out of it. They want you to be... There's no other word for it, a Hero. I plan on being that, but I also plan on doing crazy, awesome shit, I plan on being a bro tool sometimes, on being a dick. We ostomates, we can be regular people too, having a poop bag doesn't have to stop you from living life to the fullest (and not just in angelic terms) I plan on leading the example. You know that game Elder Scrolls Oblivion? Where the Imperial Legion soldiers always scream "Remember the Emperor!" when they fight? Well here's my counter, REMEMBER... THE... OSTOMATES!!! Party King Juma out, (man I'm such a nerd...)
