We are proud to announce that the winner in the category of the most offensively sickening bowel cancer/ stoma bag joke is Cris Ricketts for -
'My favorite punctuation mark - The SEMI-COLON'.
Lots of belly laughs for that one, well, for some of us. Well done Cris. Sorry Sara, 'stick some pipes in it and play something that smells Scottish' was a very close second. Keep them coming, with humour we can together beat the shit out of.... er, we can overcome this thing. A quiet day just hanging around the phone waiting for the kidney man to find a spare slot in his diary. With Irene to the charity shop to look for a few items. Practicing shuffling, but I am not very convincing. There are many high spots of the day, most of which are 'it is now time to have another painkiller', and congratulate myself for not jumping the gun. Irene is now discharged from the Heliomare revalidation home. She says she will miss the creativity centre workshops. I asked why could she not do something locally in a community centre. It's too expensive. But there are subsidies, surely. She says she won't qualify because she is not sick enough. How positive is that! She walks around her home putting things in order and looking just great. I can't put it into words, but somehow she glows from within.
I plan to get acting lessons while they are free, and put on a convincing display of illness when I improve and they are not free. Then I shall misappropriate every subsidy that's going.
Not much else going on, so time to make a few drawings before dinner. And my drawing tablet is working again. Just needed a new battery in the electric pen, and I can do a bit of colouring like a two year-old.
Life with a stoma....continued
Emma and Anna are off to Irene to help cook the meal. Caro will be arriving later and I will put up some photos. This blog needs some cheery illustration.
Bye all. Tomorrow, my fabulous art class. I hope that the treatment gets going because we are moving rapidly towards 'How To Draw A Real Rude Nude Lady' week, and there must be no conflict of interrest.

Love you all.

I must say I am somewhat gutted not to have been awarded first prize, but at the same time I do concede that Cris's entry was far more diabolical than I could ever have come up with.
ReplyDeleteKeep the drawings coming Dad - they are absolutely brilliant. I love the space hopper one!
Nice fish picture by the way - is that an angler fish? I can see where I get my photography gene from!
By the way, while we are on the subject of fish, I heard that the b*tch from the hospital who gave you and Bernie a hard time supplements her income by posing nude for the local community art classes - so have fun!
Love you loads, thinking of you always xoxoxox
