Well, my colon has made it for thirty years! The last 14 years haven't been great for my little buddy, but I'm finally ready to say "goodbye." The more I prepare myself both physically and emotionally for a poo bag and pouch, I realize: there's a lot I'm gonna miss and won't miss!- I'm gonna miss sleeping on my stomach and right side!
- I'm gonna miss Coke and Dr. Pepper!
- I'm gonna miss Sushi!
- I'm gonna miss Starbucks!
- I'm gonna miss sitting down to potty!
- I'm gonna miss sleeping through the night! (w/o changing a bag at 4 AM)
- I'm not gonna miss public restrooms!
- I'm not gonna miss crying while on the potty!
- I'm not gonna miss medicine!
- I'm not gonna miss feeling embarrassed!
- I'm not gonna miss avoiding social situations!
- I'm not gonna miss "accidents!"
This list will definitely change as I learn and experience life without a colon, yet the basics are there. Overall, I would definitely give up the things "I will miss" to be healthy and feel good. Although...I will be sneaking an occasional Coke, my life just wouldn't be complete without it!
