Kock Pouch with permanent catheter in....

Topics

Jasmine 2

I have decided to just stay the way I am. My valve hasn't slipped, my pouch is attached to my abdominal wall. The problem I have is a stricture right before the valve opening to the pouch itself. So since I have no leaks of gas or output, I have decided to just stay the way I am. I had to change my eating, but other than that I'm good with this. I do have a NutriBullet, so if I want corn, peas, salsa or broccoli: I'll just blend them up. Chili will be different also, I'll have to blend the light red kidney beans and make them a part of the chili that way. I can still eat lettuce, I shred it....no spinach allowed unless I blend it for something. I have just learned, things could be worse so I'm just going to adjust to my new situation. Took me 9 months to get to this point but I'm ok with it. The Kock Pouch is wonderful, and I love it, even with my catheter in 24/7.

Serenity Prayer comes to mind. "Accept"

Good for you Jasmine!

I think one of the most difficult things is accepting the way things are, rather than Chasing an impossible dream. It is liberating because you can then focus on living your life. Acceptance is not giving up. It is just compromise.
