KatEye Piercings

KatEye Piercings MIA Name is Kat. I am a missing in action piercer, that has been going through major medical experiences. I have a small little family with 2 cats, and 1 dog.

I havent given up on piercing, it is just not something I have the time to fully commit to at the moment. Between major surgeries, doctors appointments, and other creations in my life. I just do not have the time or energy to fully commit to piercing as a full time job. Once, life isn't as rough, and my medical journey calms down I plan on taking on piercing once again, with major goals in mind. I

strive for safe, consensual, and quality piercings. Come on down to our little shop, and get to know me. Fun Tid Bit- Cat's Eye dispels unwanted energy from the aura.

Update:

Life with the Jpouch has been challenging, and overwhelming. I am definitely not thriving, but I am in survival mode. Which is better than nothing at this point.

So far the medicine that was prescribed to me isn’t doing much of anything from what I can tell, but I continue to take it just in case it has improvements.

Last night I slept for 5 hours straight without needing to use the bathroom. So that is some kind of improvement. So hopefully things continue to improve in that aspect of this journey.

My open wound on my stomach from my stoma site has now closed. Which is awesome. The scar is pretty cool. Going to tell people I got bit by a squid. 🦑

Also, I am uprooting my family yet again. We are taking off to another town. I am excited and scared. Though I am so ready to start this next phase in life. Let’s hope I can keep up.

Wonder what’s next? Guess we will have to wait and see.

I wasn’t going to post this because the denial is strong, but I need to do this to remain open and honest during my journey.

I am having mild complications with my jpouch. I’m not even 3 weeks post op, and am already battling internal inflammation. I am taking mesalamine again. This is an anti-inflammatory medication that I took back in 2018 for Ulcerative Colitis. It did not work for me then, but it may work for me now.

Right now the doctor thinks it’s because I haven’t used my back end in 10 months, and I’m having to learn how to function with a jpouch. I will be seeing him again in 3 months to see how things are going.

I am afraid, nervous, scared, and have cried a few times over this. The pain is brutal. I can’t sit or stand for long without getting nauseous because the pain intensifies. I hope the remaining re**al cuff is not flaring up with ulcers. I also hope this doesn’t cause ulcers to form in my jpouch. Though right now, this is all what ifs. There was no scope done since I am so fresh out of surgery, and we are treating based on symptoms and what the outside of me looks like.

I do still have hope that the jpouch can work for me, but if things don’t improve or if things get worse it may not be what keeps me healthy.

I will continue to take things one day at a time, and update when I feel an update is needed. Right now, things are hard. Though, I can’t lose hope just yet.

This is my reality of major abdominal surgery.

No abdominal strength. Stitches. Open wound care. Scars. A diaper for emergencies. Everything is sore. Everything is raw.

I don’t see my body as weak, even though right now in this moment it is. I see strength. I see obstacles that have not only been endured, but survived through.

I love this body of mine. It’s been through hell and back, and here it is still powering through.

I am proud of myself and this body of mine.

Finding the words to describe this last surgery has been difficult, but I think I have finally found them.

Overall the surgery went smoothly, but my bounce back was not smooth. My organs did not want to wake up, and I experienced the worst physical pain in my life. Pain medicine was not touching anything. I was vomiting everything including water. My medical anxiety had sky rocketed, and of course I freaked out.

I knew going in this surgery had risk, just didn’t expect them to hit that fast or that hard. What was supposed to be a 1-3 day hospital stay turned into a week long stay.

Though now, I can finally say I am no longer an ostomate. I am officially a Jpoucher. Now it is time to learn my new normal and embark on this season of my life.

I am beyond grateful to my support group and everyone who went out of their way to check in on me during this time of my life.

I am finally heading home to finish healing in comfort.

I truly cannot wait to see what this J-Pouch does for me and my life. It can take upwards of a year to fully adjust, but for now I am done having surgeries.

Such a bitter sweet moment.

I packed up the rest of my remaining unused ostomy supplies. I almost cried. I had to fully brace myself when I realized what I was doing. This potentially marks the end of a journey that saved my life.

I truly hope this helps someone who needs it, and they can do the same in the future.

I have said goodbye to my first stoma, Stomer Simpson. Now the time is coming to say goodbye to The Twins. My body has done some pretty amazing things, and I am feeling very blessed right now.

❤️

This is what happy and healthy looks like ❤️
I don’t regret getting my colon removed or moving my family. I personally haven’t felt this good in my own skin and with my body in a long time.

Is life different? Sure, but I’m not in daily pain anymore. I don’t cry myself to sleep anymore. I don’t worry about my son finding me dead in bed anymore. The strength provided not only to survive but to endure is no easy feat. I take pride in how far I’ve pushed myself to thrive in this life.

No one can take this feeling from me. 🫶🏻 For I am blessed to have life, and choose life every single day.

What a relief life has given me.❤️

Let’s Talk About It
I want to be fully honest. 👀

I intentionally let my ostomy bag be visible in public, and at times I intentionally showed it to people if it wasn’t visible. I did this as a social experiment to observe real reactions to stomas and ostomy bags. (I made the decision to do this day 2 of having a stoma.)

I didn’t announce it because I needed authenticity. The goal wasn’t to embarrass anyone — it was to highlight the stigma that still exists.

If you reacted in any way — visibly or internally — that reaction helped illustrate something important.

Things I’ve learned:
1. There is far more negativity around ostomy bags than positivity.
2. Friends and loved ones can be the harshest critics — intentionally or not, their words often cut the deepest.
3. Keyboard warriors can be just as cruel.
4. Compassion matters, and too often it’s forgotten.

🫶🏻Thank you for being part of the conversation.🫶🏻

Don’t forget:
Words carry weight, and compassion matters.
If you truly care about someone, your words and reactions should reflect that — especially when it’s about something beyond their control.
This isn’t a life we chose; it chose us.

When the only choice was life or death, we chose life — every single time. 💪🏻

Surgery is scheduled for March 17th as of right now. There was a delay of getting in sooner because of insurance, but that has been handled.

I have to get a special scan done on March 2nd to make sure there is no leaks in my jpouch. If there is a leak we cannot move forward with surgery because I could go septic.(If you don’t know anything about sepsis, I highly suggest looking into it. It’s dangerous.)

If there is no leaks, then we will proceed forward. Which is nerve wrecking because the jpouch may or may not work. I have very high hopes and am putting all my energy into believing this could work for me.

Now I need to get my ducks in a row so I am fully prepared for a hospital stay, and what comes afterwards.
