Homebound
They say it is always darkest before the dawn. I’m banking on this to be true. Today is July 10, 2023. This is the first day in 40 days that I feel that a return to normal life is possible. I may be jumping the gun here, as I haven’t written about the lower anterior rectal resection surgery I had in April, or my life with an ileostomy for eight weeks. I have been consumed with the recovery from the ileostomy takedown surgery that took place on May 31.
