“The Sleeper Awakens” captures the moment that my ostomy finally became real. The news that I could ditch the catheter and ng tube was a delight a first. If you’ve been following along, you know that I was pretty miserable with both. However, I’d been so preoccupied with them that I’d been ignoring the ostomy completely. I hadn’t really even looked at it yet. Now I knew I’d never be able to ignore it again. The word “bittersweet” doesn’t quite cover the depths of emotion involved, but it’ll have to do.
