A short Grump. (but manage to cheer myself up the end ha ha)

4 minute read time.

My lovely friend Sunny whom I love so much and wish i could hug for real  is having a bad day and quite rightly so.

I am having a bad day and not rightly so at all... in the great scheme of things it isn't a big deal. I am alive and the sun is shining and my friends are all so much worse off than me and I should be making you laugh and smile and supporting instead so....

 excuse this grump. Its just a little one. Ignore me and go and read yesterdays silly again instead. Just need a grumpy dump and will be ok again soon.... (if you jump to the bottom I get over it by the end- that's why blogs are good... gets it out)

For those who follow things, you know what I broke last week... for those that don't.... when we moved house last week, I spilled my guts (literally) as in my intestines popped out of my stoma.

Stoma nurse says don't lift anything so despite the slapped legs etc from you lot I have not been lifting anything heavy and I did spend a day doing nothing and got miserable but was 'Being Good'.

So I went to work and was 'Being Good 'and asked people to lift and carry and all that and when I woke up this morning I forgot about baggy being there and it didn't hurt and it felt good and I felt happy.... Felt a bit sore and bag a bit full after lunch and went to change it and blew my nose cos I ahve got a cold and there it was dangling big time again and more than before and enough to freak- me -out. a bit. 

Of course i am in the loo at school so the advice of lie on the floor and press etc was a little grubby and awkward but I did it and then went to phone nurse... and I am not squeemish at all but even I was a little unnerved this time... hmmm.

So, tomorrow I have to go to the hospital (your one Ems!!!) to see the stoma nurse and do not lift anything, do not stretch or reach AT ALL and if it pops out at all, lie down on the floor and press etc etc.

So Little My went into the staffroom, pulled up a chair next to the other one and laid down. Friend comes in and asks if I am ok and I burst into tears. Hmmm I have been a brave Little My all along and laughed etc and  only cried once with the scary cancer stuff and this is what makes me cry. Stupid eh?

So, I am peed off big time and I know its not a big thing and GC couldn't see hefty last time so should be happy but I get a glimpse of you can do a bit of work and do a bit of normal and now I can't do blinkin well anything AT ALL and I am cross! And you who know me that Little My doesn't do 'doing nothing at all' And I wasn't even being naughty which would have been fair cop but just sitting etc. grrrrrrrrrr. So I ask colleague to carry my laptop over to meeting and other one says aren't you even going to pack it in the bag for him? like I am being lazy and I have to explain and i hate explaining etc and wish they would just know somehow and understand and I don't have to ask cos I hate asking and I know its something i have to learn but I don't want to learn that one! Harumph.

The site is annoying me too.Big time. I want friends activity back now.

Grump over. Sorry. No right.

Tomorrow has now changed from phased day off work resting to hospital stuff day. Blood tests in the morning and then baggy stuff in the afternoon.

And I am starting to see the funny side of it having to lie down... what if its in the middle of a lesson? Excuse me kids... ha ha What if I am in the queue at a cafe? ha ha Or in the petrol station forecourt? Ha ha ha my goodness think of how many inappropriate places I could have to lie down on the floor in? Suggestions below please. Might make me laugh.

And I think the nurse might give me BIG PANTS! ha ha.

Guess you can't keep a Little My down for long eh?

Oh I've got a parents eve tomorrow... if they ask awkward questions, I could just lie on the floor- might be able to use this to  my advantage eh?

If you trip over a small grumpy lady lying on the floor sniggering to herself... you'll know who it is...

And Steve I missed you. Glad you didn't give up altogether. Please friends keep on at mac to change things rather than giving up or going away. I love you all

And Tim, I won't cook sausages for now just in case.. sizzle (ouch)

Back to silly tomorrow I bet.

Half pints tonight or gins cos I can't lift a pint glass...

Little My xxxx

ps Sunny I love you.

    Hi

    I am fairly new to the site and just really finding my way around but have read your previous blog post which made me laugh so much I was glad of the Tena Lady!  Otherwise there would have been a great big puddle on the kitchen floor but I could always have blamed the dog who does have a weak bladder!

    Please don't apologise for grumping!  I think you are an incredibly brave lady and I don't think for one minute I could have coped as well as you did!  Big hugs and a huge gasp of amazement!!!!!

    Hope you have a better day tomorrow!

    Much love,

    Chrissie xxxx

    Ah Little My

    The truth will out, you are not wearing the eighteen hour girdle, and that is why your innards are outards.

    Bad girl. That and laughing and sneezing, (and lifting and stretching and all them tings). Get a good nights sleep if you possibly can , difficult with so may bits that need herding into place. Then tomorrow you will have the opportunity to lie down whenever it's least expected. I suggest carrying a yoga mat or something similar at all times otherwise it may just be a tad hard on the old spine when you hit the deck on hard floors. Think it through woman, Its no good going for showy effect if you end up with too many bruises .

    Hey, sweetie

    Funny once, silly twice, my grandma used to say and, frankly, when it comes to your innards becoming outerwear then I say it's not even funny once. The stoma nurse had jolly well better fix it, I don't want to have to go all the way to Wales to talk sternly to her.

    My own personal set of cancer cards entitles me to a good blub twice a day. If, like me, you haven't cried at all (or much), then think of the big backlog of crying you could do if you felt like it!

    Ew. I had sossidges tonight. Now I rather wish I hadn't, even though mine were veggie ones.

    *loads of hugs*

    hi little my,

    I agree with chrissie, your blogs always make me laugh so much, I now keep thinking of you

    lying down in strange places ( isnt there a craze going around called planking at the moment?) lol

    I have to say a sense of humor has got me through alot of dark days, ide rather laugh than cry so

    I try to see the funny side of things too. When I was going through chemo I went to wig place with my

    daughter and bought a wig that resembled my own hair colour and style so that aquaintances and

    people that didnt knkow I had breast cancer wouldnt treat me differently or feel sorry for me ( I hate

    people feeling sorry for me) anyway the first day I wore it I went with my daughter to pick up my

    grandaughter from school who was only five at the time, so there I am feeling a bit self concious

    hoping people wouldnt know I was wearing wig, school doors open and out runs my lovely

    grandaughter who then shouted * nan, nan, is that your new wig you are wearing?* lol funny now

    but at the time I wanted to crawl away as all heads turned to look at me .

    I hope stoma nurse sorts out your baggy and you can cough and sneeze as much as you want

    well I dont want you to get a cold or anything but you know what I mean.

    big hugs angie xxxxxxxxxx

    LM I think you should become a magicians assistant.

    Lying down he could levitate you, and then pull these things magically out of your stomach! You'd be a star!

    Anyway good luck today hope they get it all sorted out so you can enjoy toad in the hole.
