Disability has a way of draining you of things that made you, you. I have been through hell and back again. The fight is not over.

I have had quite a few conversations with my parents and family about all things medical with me.

I have taken enough time to fully recover from my Ostomy getting closed up and I am back in the same hell I was in that led to the idea of an ostomy in the first place.

Now the big issue is still the same. I have not seen my main Gastroenterology doctor since January 2023. I am on every list of cancellations, etc. that I can be—still, no calls or anything.

Last time I had to force the issue to get seen.


So, Monday is the last chance for the hospital I have been going to. I like my surgery but that is it.

I am not waiting around with them anymore.

I have a list of things that have to be tested for and whoever/wherever will do them is where I am going.

I'm so sorry to read about your difficulties. Here's hoping your luck improves.

Working with the medical services in Ontario seems a lot like that. Wait, wait and wait, and then find out that your request has been lost, only to wait again.

Hopefully things work out better for you ASAP. I can only imagine the extent of your challenges there.
