Why the title for this blog?

I struggle with staying positive in the sight of adversity. It is very easy for me to dwell on the negative aspects of my situation and miss the blessings that come from the trial and so I will use this blog to help me stay focused on the rainbows of my life.

Home From the Hospital

I came home from the hospital today.
The surgery went well and so did the recovery. I woke up to find myself tethered to many monitors and pieces of equipment but one by one they were removed. I ended up having a colostomy as my insides need to heal. Dr. Finne said it will be for six months. The good news is that there was no sign of cancer in any of the diseased tissues! This problem was all related to the rupture of a diveticuli. Dr Finne got most , if not all of them out with the bowel resection and said that he can not guarantee that I will never have problems like this again but the chances of it got a whole lot less.
My life is about adapting and changing right now but I need to just keep pressing forward.
