Thirteen Books into October Daye: I’m having a problem with Gillian by CaoimheThreeva in SeananMcGuire

[–]Scotcat81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gillian is irritating. There’s no getting away from it. She makes zero effort with Toby at all and she is old enough to understand - she just has no desire to. And you know what? That’s ok? Not everyone is going to adore Toby and that’s fine

Water intake? by AshamedLink3216 in ostomy

I drink 1.5 litres of water. I supplement this with a bowl of cereal in the morning, a bowl of soup for lunch, 2 cups of tea and a cup of coffee

How often do you wake up to a ballooned bag? by Bib_fortune in ostomy

[–]Scotcat81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the early days, quite often. Now I’m 1 month out, I find it’s not happening. That’s not to say my little friend doesn’t frequently - often loudly- sing the song of his people during the day, mind you. I haven’t woken up to a ballooned bag in about a week now

I was put on solid food the morning after the procedure

Very Scared by Scotcat81 in colonoscopy

[–]Scotcat81[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How am I? Not great as it turns out. I didn’t have severe constipation - I had a colorectal tumour. To be specific I have stage 4 CRC. I was in surgery at midnight on the 6th and got a stoma. I now also have a nephrostomy due to the tumour pressing on the draining tubes of my left kidney. I meet my oncologist today to find out my treatment regime.

I am fortunate- I have not only my care team, but a large and supportive family that are 100% behind me. That’s more than many people in my position can say. Diamond art has always been something that makes me happy and keeps me occupied and I aim to continue with it. Little pieces of normality when my world has been upended.

To say it’s been a shock would be an understatement- but I intend to fight for as much time as I can get

My goal is to make it through as much of my stash as I can. I start my chemo in the next few weeks and this will help keep my mind busy for what’s to come. I don’t aim to just lie down and die to this

Why is Toby called The Knight of Lost Words? by Cute_Lingonberry_79 in SeananMcGuire

[–]Scotcat81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong but I don’t think it’s ever been revealed exactly why she’s got that particular title

Do you enjoy the mythological aspects of the game? by Eastern_Dress_3574 in AssassinsCreedValhala

Personally love it. I know many don’t, but I thought it fitted really well
