Cancer Chronicles: Bypassing the butt, staying connected when you are anything but, and amplifying abundance through simplicity

Once again- massive gratitude to all who have been on part or all of this journey with me!I have been up to my elbows in s**t, literally, for the last few weeks because I’ve been having trouble adjusting to my stoma, Mildred (that’s Mildred B.B. Puckrup to you;). I’m allergic to adhesives so that already creates a challenge. And I can’t get a good seal around her, which means that stomach acids are sitting on my skin, eating away at it under the ostomy bag. After scouring dozens of Reddits and YouTube videos, I may have come up with the right combination of products and protocols that will allow the skin around the stoma to heal. Fingers crossed.This episode was recorded about ten days after I returned home from the hospital. What you can expect in the roundabout ramblings from a rectal resection post-op patient:* living with an ileostomy* I remembered I had a belly button* Angry skin* Youtubers are awesome* Detailed explanation of an ileostomy, stoma* Keeping things simple amplifies abundance* Using my intuition to find ways for a diverse range of people to support me in the easiest and most fun way possible* Being brave and going with my “crazy idea” of graphically representing my stoma and creating a wish list for “our arrival home”* Allowing myself to receive and convincing my nervous system that it is safe to receiveAnd a whole lotta love.Transcript is available- my AI still hasn’t learned to spell my name correctly but none of us is perfect, are we?JenniI’ve made it my mission to share my journey honestly so that others may benefit from my experience, strength, and hope.
