I went to SLC for my pre op and did my tests but never got to see the surgeon. I have so many questions for him. We will meet next week before surgery. The tests they run were not fun and yes they do invade you privacy big time. I have just come to realize that everybody wants my butt. That is the only way to get through it. Surgery is set for Feb 6, and I am sure I will be first in the morning. My body has finally started to adjust to life without a colon and now I have to learn everything over and learn to live with just my small intestine.
Last Sunday I was in sacrament and started to hurt so bad. I went home early and knew I had another blockage so I had Syd go get Mike and Karli out of church. We went straight to the hospital sure enough I had one. I threw up as soon as I got there and for some strange reason it partially opened up. I told him I would be fine at home and to let me go. I know all the foods that go right through me so I knew I could fix it. He finally let me come home and about 10 that night it started again. I was so sick. It hurts pretty bad but we decided to wait till I threw up and see what happened. As soon as I threw up I started to feel better. It opened up again. So for 2 days all I did was clear liquids. I was starving. But I have been good since.
Nathan said the 2 cutest prayers for me when I was hurting so bad, and I know it was an answer to his prayers that he needed. He has had a hard time with this. He is the most loving and helpful kid alive. He has helped me through so much by his sweet innocence. He even sleeps with a letter that I wrote to him. Those prayers bore testimony to him so it really was worth what I went through to help him. All my family has been so awesome. We have some of our best moments and some of our worst moments but it has pulled us closer together and I love them so much for all there help.
The ward and community has also been awesome. They have definitely passed the test for service, love and compassion.. I love all you guys also.
THANKS SO MUCH TO EVERYBODY
In the last two weeks I have lost 2 of my friends in my chemo group. It has been hard. They both died from colon cancer. America was only 6 months younger than me and Mat was only 32 yrs young. A Friend said I had survive rs guilt and I know I have. I just don't know why some make it and some don't. I am so thankful for Heavenly Father for letting me stay he longer. Like I have said before. I am to ornery for the devil and The Lord doest want me yet so hopefully I am here to stay for awhile.
I will post after surgury. Back to the Huntsman Center I go.

Best luck and love for your upcoming surgery. Hopefully, no more blockages either - they sound awful. Stay positive and strong and fiesty. XOXO
