Had someone say "I'll cut you a new one", or "you are a bag of shit"?
Well they did and I am.
Three weeks of starvation and giving blood vials has earned me a Stoma.

Well thru the Summer I will deal with a hole in my stomach,
the result of Diverticulitis.
Thankfully it doesn't appear to be a life long affliction.
This is the result of bag after bag of mixed nuts non stop.
They got stuck in the gut.
Surprisingly there are many others like me wearing an Ostomy.
