Dear Diary,
My re-entry to normal civilian life has been bumpy and surreal. While I am happier than a squirrel living in a Mr. Planter’s nut factory to be in my own bed again, I almost miss the convenience of ice chips and jello delivered bedside.
Princess JeanMarie
Hello! It’s good to be home again, behind the screen, fresh off a two-week stay at UNC hospital (Chapel Hill, NC). I don’t recommend emergency surgery for a bowel obstruction, but if you’re going to get your guts twisted into a knot, it’s a good place to go, and to leave (cause really, leaving the hospital is always better than going in.)
I don’t really have much to say at the moment. No poetry (yet). Looking forward to a full recovery (stupid post op infection). Oh….
2021: You can suck it!
Words from JeanMarie 
Wishing you a speedy recovery

A bowel obstruction? OMGosh, that sounds so painful, you poor thing! I hope you are recovering quickly from the surgery and post-op infection. Take care!

Yes. Painful. I was in pain for 4 days before I went to the emergency room. It was a pretty complicated surgery too. I don’t recommend it. Thanks for stopping by.

You went in with a problem that might make you howl, You exited without that pain in your bowel. Painless recovery and something to read are only a few of the things that you need. Prayers for your health and lots of good wishes. Maybe someone to help to the dishes. Good luck, Princess.

Wow! A poem just for me! Thank you. Love it. I’ve got a lot of healing to do still. There’s a wound…. we won’t go into it.

Thanks Bart. I have an idea for one. If I can just stay upright long enough to write it…….
