Sitting here. Wondering what to write. Wondering if I should write.
I am feeling vulnerable and sad today. I have been sick for a while with my usual malady which shall remain nameless. Sometimes it is hard to want to remain in my body.
Kate said—“you know Mama, it could be worse. I knew a twenty eight year old woman who lost her colon.”
“Her whole colon Kate?”
“I think so”
I don’t think it’s possible to lose your whole colon…what do they replace it with—a garden hose?”
For a second there I was waylaid by this image but then I thought “Sheesh, without your colon you would have a lot more space in your abdomen..”
Well, I feel sorry for this young woman and I know that a lot of people have it rougher than I and are very much more brave and stalwart then I. Does that help? Perhaps it mitigates the intensity.
But, I still feel icky and I don’t like it one bit and if that shithole Corey Lewandowski was here, he’s say: “Whomp whomp” and I’d punch him right in the nose and pull out his colon and hang him with it. So there.
Thanks for your message Susan—I can’t even imagine how difficult that would be. Living with stuff takes courage doesn’t it?
