Official Eviction Notice/ An Ode to My Stomach

JENNIFER THE SOVEREIGN , LLC


February 24, 2019


RE: EVICTION NOTICE


Stomach,




It is recognized that you have been a 35 year tenant for PROPERTY OWNER. Your presence allowed PROPERTY OWNER to grow (albeit not that much, but GENETICS is more at fault), enjoy the sensation of full belly after eating delicious meals, and being an active member of the DIGESTIVE CO-OP. However, you have since become HOSTILE and UNCOOPERATIVE.


PROPERTY OWNER has listed the following grievances:


Grievance:
WHEREAS in 2009 you invited Cancer to sublet on your top apartment near the GE Junction Attic causing LOSS OF PROPERTY/IRREPARABLE DAMAGE/ in surrounding area
WHEREAS since 2009 your egregious party antics has wrecked havoc on your upper neighbor ESPHOAGUS causing IRREPARABLE DAMAGE to property which can cause FUTURE HARM to OWNER OF PROPERTY (and HOSTILE LIVING ENVIRONMENT)
WHERAS since 2009 the consequences of your antics has caused problems to other neighbors such as LIVER, LUNGS, TEETH causing a HOSTILE LIVING ENVIRONMENT
WHEREAS in 2014, you showed an utter inhospitality to a grumpy growing UTERUS incubating a precious BABY of PROPERTY OWNER despite so many efforts to keep you comfortable
WHERAS since 2009 your inability to allow landlord to live a normal life ie sleep well, have normal colds that don't involve aspiration, causing burns to the esophagus, not allowing property manager to gain weight due to party antics)


It is with great disappointment that you are hereby evicted, effective 25. February 2019.


You will be forcefully removed from property and moved to MEDICAL WASTE.


Thanks for the good memories prior to 2009.
Your former self will be missed. Your new self WILL NOT.
Esophagus, Lungs and Liver will especially thank you for leaving the premises




Most sincerely,
Jennifer
PROPERTY OWNER






ODE TO MY STOMACH


So gracious an organ you are supposed to be
Teleporting food from mouth to guts
Offering nutrients, rich and vital
Many ounces of food are broken down to make the body grow!
Ah! The wondrous organ that makes life worth living
'Cept when you invite cancer in and spray your acid to and fo
Here's to years of digesting the most delicious foods.




----back to reality---
The last few days have been busy....making final leave plans for work....eating all the foods I could....hanging out with my friends....and roughhousing my son for the last time in a long time. I am scared, I am worried, I am anxious, but I have no regrets. I have made my peace with this decision long ago. It's time. And I'll be better for it! I have the best support group.


But now I have to take my medically induced shower and slather myself with pre surgical wipes. Yum.


You will be updated mostly via Facebook-- some via Text.
My sister and husband will take over my phone, so just message me there if you want.
Hopefully wireless in the hospital is good so I can use my phone.  Otherwise, I'll just catch up with everyone once home.


Surgery should take 6 hours max. I should be in the hospital 7 days max. Fingers crossed no surprises!


Take care, my precious readers :)

First Blog

Thus beginneth my first blog with Blogspot. I am interested to see who will actually read/follow this blog, especially once I get it up and running. While I will be writing about a lot of things, I will focus on my life with NF and my life as a stomach cancer survivor. I know I am not the only person in this country with NF or who has had stomach cancer, so I wanted to start this blog as an outlet in hopes to find other people out there who go through similar things. Stay tuned for more musings and rantings. I rant a LOT. A LOT.

Incredibly Thankful

Dear Everyone: Your response to my "confession" blog was, for lack of a better word, overwhelming. The stories you shared with me via your comments or in private... they mean more to me than I can describe. It was very hard to "come out" as someone with an eating disorder. Anyway. I'm working through it. And I'm so grateful to have so much support. So I want to dedicate my extremely, overly sappy Thanksgiving blog to all of you, my readers, my family and my friends. To my family/(including extended and John's family): Thank you for being you. I know we Higginses have gotten stronger with the loss of Jimmy. It still hurts. We all still hurt. But we are stronger together. I know we don't always get along, but we are always family. And especially to my siblings- you all  mean so much to me. I cherish you and each of you inspire me in different ways. Anyway, I always reflect back on the fun times we've had and I know we'll make fun memories...

My Stomach Cancer Survivor Confessions

November is Stomach Cancer Awareness month, so I thought I should write something about how I still deal with the effects--- 7 years later.  So, friends, here, on this blog, I am telling all of you for the first time (because I have recently been reflecting on it and only now owning up to this- I haven't even discussed with my therapist but I will)....I am almost certain I have a stomach cancer induced eating disorder. This will be VERY LONG so bear with me, and if you read it, I appreciate you! I have been working on this post for DAYS and I don't know how it's going to be perceived, so I am making myself very vulnerable to you right now. I can't really write about my self-diagnosed eating disorder without explaining again everything I endured when I was recovering from surgery. I know many of you remember my trials and tribulations of eating and all I went through, but many don't know because I have recently met you, so here is my story. I think ...
