No longer a patient

[vaneramos]

Ten things I can do, if I want, now that I'm no longer a patient with a colostomy or bandanges or homecare nurses arriving every morning at 8:15 in the morning.

1. See my entire belly.



2. Rub my belly.



3. Wear jeans.



4. Wear anything with a 32" waist.



5. Clean all the tape adhesive off my stomach.



6. Never shave my tummy hair.



7. Get rid of all the medical supplies cluttering my dresser.



8. Rearrange my bedroom.



9. Lie flat on my belly.



10. Take a shower anytime.



11. Sleep late.



12. Sleep over at a friend's.



13. Spend an entire day without talking to anyone.



14. Take my shirt off at the dance.



15. Have sex without anything getting in the way.



16. Pick up guys without having to explain anything.



17. Avoid doing any housework for a few days.



18. Go away for the weekend.



19. Fit through small spaces.



20. Hug my kids and friends tightly.
