A fellow softball player suffered a ruptured appendix last winter and spent over seven weeks in the hospital and was finally released with a colostomy bag.
He dealt with it throughout the summer until he finally became infection free and ultimately had the bag removed and his colon reattached this fall. He's doing extremely well now............Thank God
Thank God, indeed. I take it he didn’t complain about any pain? Maybe blew it off as something else?
My dad didn’t have to deal with the colon issues. At least not surgically. But given all the other medical issues he’d gone through in his life, he probably just thought it was just another malady, in a long list of maladies.
Born in ‘26. Those folks kinda just took things in stride and kept on going.
God I miss him.
