Eeep!

Hellooo

just a quick one tonight. I have lame-o period pain, but its not normal period pain its PILL period pain. so its tummy, arm and leg pain! What the heck? naw weelll! I am getting yummy pizza for tea (the nice italian kind not the stodgy sit on the toilet all night afterwards kind...). Its kind of becoming a monday ritual as they have free delivery on mondays and tuesdays.

On another note, I just sold a crapload of jewellery which is great! As i bought myself a wee before-op-present... well not wee, its a bloody huge handbag!(pictured above :P) from www.vliegervandam.com. I so can't wait to get it! (I justified it also by telling myself its a good size for all my ostomy supplies i will have :P haha!).

I am also frantically trying to get my crap together for my trip to vancouver in 46 hours! EEEEEPPPP! So exciting. I have to make my andy a few lasagne's as he isn't the best of cooks, poor thing :)

On a crohnsy note: been feeling okay, body feeling pretty worn out lately but i think the antibiotics are keeping the crohns at bay a bit phew. Lets hope they keep working a few more weeks. I saw the ostomy nurse the other day. Was a little shocked at how different they do things here compared to the US and australia. EG aus get 1 bag per day for thier stoma, whereas NZ gives you 2 bags a week... Now that sounds pretty stingey to me, but i am sure i can coax more from them. Also they Prefer using one piece bags instead of two piece which i find kind of worrisome as i think the two pieces would be safer, and also more hygenic? (Being able to see your stoma when you put it on etc.). Anyway again i am sure they wont force me into anything and i certainly wont let them! lol.

I tried on a bag the other day to get the feel of it, and filled it with water. It was surprisingly unnoticable - seriously! and being a big girl helps :P. I followed the instructions to the T but after sleeping with it noticed it had peeled away a bit. I dont know how i would survive on 2 a week i would be so paranoid ! lol.

Anyway i hope you are well xxx Thanks for reading
