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 :)

On Saying Goodbye: Leaving Boston after 17 Years

Dear Boston and all the people who have been in our lives: Thank you for the (just shy of!) 17 Years! What a beautiful city this is. It was such a privilege to call Boston home. You were worst of times (cancer, other health issues, losing Chaucer and Dante, job losses/ unemployments on both ends) but you were mostly the best of times (meeting the best people, having Oliver, completing advanced degrees, advancing in our careers, growing as people). You quite literally saved my life.. While some memories are quite triggering, they are reminders of strength and perseverance. And I am filled with thanks having been in the right place at the right time . Now here comes a waterfall of photos   Us in our early days here, circa 2008 Our graduations from Boston College in 2012 and 13 respectively  (I was pregnant and didn’t yet know in this pic!) Oliver’s birth in 2014 When i first moved here, I was not city savvy. I was not public transit savvy. And I HATED the cold and snow.  17...

Can I get a break? I guess not.

I guess it was the end of April since I last posted. Something like that. Well since then I've finished classes for the semester, and while I should be stress free, I am even more stressed. FML. I believe I mentioned in my last entry that I saw my PCP and she wanted me to have an endoscopy/colonoscopy soon but I didn't go into details why: because  at least for the endoscopy order, I still have troubles swallowing and my heartburn is bad (I also just need to have my yearly cancer check), but as for the colonoscopy order, she thought perhaps I grew colon polyps, which is why I am so anemic. She wanted me to get it done ASAP, but with final papers/exams, plus the hub leaving for most of June PLUS my surgeon not being free til July, I booked my appointment in July. Well on Monday I had a fellow up with my PCP and she wasn't really happy with me waiting til July. She worked some magic and I had my procedure done today-- with my gastroenterologist- I'm still mad at him f...

And my sutured stomach has slipped...

I haven't written an update post in FOREVER. I've just had no time. Between school work, studying for Comps and more school work and applying for jobs...yeah. Now that school work is dwindling, my comps are over (and I passed!), I can write this long overdue blog about my GD esophagus.Not NF related, sure, but I am perpetually recovering from stomach cancer surgery, so yeah. Anyway, I've had problem swallowing since maybe February. Well, ha, I've had problems swallowing since my damn cancer surgery, but it got worse. So did my heartburn. I was worried. So I had an endoscopy in the beginning of March. This photo below is BASICALLY what I had done in 2009- after part of my stomach/esophagus/GE junction were removed, they fundoplicated it back together: It's not exactly like this because in this photo, the IN TACT stomach was wrapped against an IN TACT junction/esophagus. They took what was left of my stomach and wrapped it around what was left of my esophagu...
