Hi, Charles, Please read my reply to Sol's post . That explains where I am
right now. I am not being rushed into anything. The surgeon uses the same
words you just did, a horrible, terrible surgery. My regular doc, who has
been through 12 years of working on this with me, is more in favor of doing
this, not because he wants to "get rid of me coming to his office all the
time , but because, having now seen the X-rays that show that I have a great
deal more colon filled with nooks and crannies where gas and stool get held
up. The long transit time may very well be due to my lifetime of bad habits
like enemas. However, in my 25 years of teaching plus many more of
tutoring, I had to be on hand every day and couldn't be running to the
bathroom. There is more to this story from my early years, I won't go into
all that. I ate garden produce fresh and home canned from our family's
garden throught my early years. I never had money enough to buy pop and
all kinds of other goodies. Except for a couple of years when I was in High
School in a big city and worked as a page in a library. I earned enough
money to buy my supplies for managing my colon, school supplies and enough
left over to have a malted milk at the drugstore on the way home from work.
During my marriage we almost always had a garden and a big one to help feed
our six children. After they got big enough, they worked hard , too both at
raising the garden and at preserving it. I always get started and run on
longer than I should. Sorry. Ruth

C'mon guys, give Ruth a break. All of us, in fact. We all need compassion
and consideration, as we all get what we 'deserve'.
I *am* being compassionate... I'm trying very hard to get Ruth to not have
to spend the rest of her life carrying around a colostomy bag.
Getting old is no picnic- it is not for the faint of heart, or the
cowardly. Everybody dies of something, and it is often painful and
difficult.
I agree - but what would be more 'painful and difficult' - a few
'tough-love' words from someone Ruth has never met in person before that
just might get her to try something that would save her from the horrors of
a colostomy - or the horrors of having to live with a colostomy?
And Ruth - don't let what someone else says about it - I have known 3
people that had one, and while publicly, they all said essentially what you
heard ('its not so bad') - privately, they told me they would give
*anything* to go back in time and be able to choose *not* to do it.
It is your life, however... and you are the one who has to live with the
consequences of your own choices.
