2015

Its almost been 4 weeks since my surgery! Things are pretty much back to normal for me. I officially stopped taking my meds about 2 weeks ago (right after New Years) and I don't have any pain anymore. My scar is healing just great, except for the fact that its still swollen and numb around the incision area. All my other scars were all just too small to really hurt.

2015 has been… interesting so far to say the least.
Well, waking up New Years day, I had double pink eye for a few days on top of still having lingering pain from my surgery. I started school back up on January 12th, and jumped right into my Nursing classes. We already learned all the basics in lab including vital sign information, how to perform a complete bed bath for a patient who is in a coma, and how to change the linens of an occupied bed. Next week in one of my classes, on topic we are covering is bowel elimination and GUESS IS WHO GUEST SPEAKING?!?! -- Yes, I volunteered to show everyone my ostomy, share my story, and answer any questions anyone has. I might as well show and help my fellow nursing students learn about something that they might eventually encounter. 

Me in my North Park scrubs!


Unfortunately, my skin has been severely irritated since my surgery. I have had a bad skin irritation under my skin adhesive that hurts at times. I've been using the stoma powder to ease the irritation and I also was prescribed a medicated powder. I went last week for my post-op appointment at the U of Chicago Hospital again. The nurses and doctors kept telling me how much they were impressed with how my healing has been going and they were all very excited for me to begin nursing. 

I also today just applied to be a camp counselor for the Camp Oasis for children with Crohn's and Colitis that will be in August located in Wisconsin. I hope I eventually get a call back for an interview so I can be around other people who relate to me and so I can help the children who suffer from the same struggles as I do.

  1. My name is hoover, my 18 years old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed of herpes 3 years ago. ever since then,we have been going from one hospital to the other. We tried all sorts of pills but all efforts to get rid of the virus was futile. The blisters kept on reappearing after some months. My daughter was making use of Acyclovir tablets 200mg. 2 tablets every 6hours and fusitin cream 15grams. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied 2x a day but all still show no result. So I was on the internet some months back, to sought for any other means of saving my only child. just then, i came across a comment on dr imoloa herbal treatment and decided to give it a try. i contacted the him and he prepared some herbs and sent it to me together with guidelines on how to use the herbs through DHL courier service. my daughter used it as directed dr imoloa and in less than 14days, my daughter regained her health..
