Day 34, AYAT - It was the day after they revised my ileostomy. It was sealing better however, I had a lot of edema so they put the tight stockings on my legs and started lasix. I hated it because it meant getting up a lot but I also was ready to go home so I went with it. I was not sleeping well, I never do, so I had asked the nurses to help minimize the amount of night interruptions. Again, great nurses!!!! They were more than willing to accommodate me. I also had a great wound care nurse that was honestly an angel. She worked so hard to make the ileostomy work and had the patience of a saint! One day we had to replace the bag three times. I was so impressed with her ability to stay cool and collected. I could tell that she loved what she did and she was happy to be with her patients.

Today: I went to the eye doctor to get my glasses back. I had ordered them last May and they had broke a few weeks ago. I picked them up and tried them on. Did I mention I absolutely hate having stuff on my face??? Sun glasses are fine but I hate anything that gets in the way of my vision. Most likely that is due to being an artist. When I looked in the mirror I could see my face, frameless lenses, and I still didn’t like them. I do like the little bit of jewels on the sides. They seem to be the closest things next to contacts without wearing contacts. I can’t do contacts, I have corrections for both near and far so these are my option. I did ask for transitions, progressives, and safety glass because of my profession, texture toucher and manipulator. I will try them out tomorrow with a different look and see if I can deal with them. I know I have to wear a pair because I almost didn’t pass my eye exam to drive without them. This might be my driving glasses and my other cuter pair would be my everyday pair. Pic of glasses, no they are not on yet. Although there is a little bit of a reflection of me taking the picture. Maybe I will post a picture of them on tomorrow… NO Promises!
