I can't wait for you to get home! I'll do home rehab with you if you want. I can drive you anywhere you need to go: to wound care (ya know I like that caca. I shoulda been a nurse but not smart enough) or drive you to go to docs office to learn how to do it if it is a home thing. Or just drive you around period if you need out of the house.

You are amazing as you recount the days and your health issues! I'd be having a pity party but not you. You do German Duolingo! There is a rhythm in your writing that I'm getting very used to following. Keep up the good work of healing and I'll keep reading your updates and appreciating you!

You are handling all of this, oncology, colitis, wound care, surgery, and PT, with so much grace and dignity. It’s what we all aspire to when there are serious medical issues to confront. Although I know this has been hellacious, reading your update assures me you are going to come through stronger than ever. Your accounts of bouts with anxiety are so helpful to anyone struggling with medical stress management.

Bun is also a beacon of focused energy in this video. 💙

I aspire to be like Bun. She naps after most of her 35 meals per day.

You have been on my mind! Thank you for the update. 🐇🐰 I hope that you will get your bunny therapy soon, too. You will continue to be in my prayers.

I know what it's like to have wound care. A few years ago, I had bilateral nephrostomy tubes and those needed constant care. It was painful, but necessary. I had them in me for almost a year and surgery about every six weeks.

You're doing a great job! I hope you get to come home soon! God bless you!🙏

Wow, that sounds intense. Thank you for sharing here. I hope everything was successful and that it’s behind you. Looking from the outside, we can’t always know what others endure, can we?

No. That is why it is so important to err on the side of compassion. We need each other!
