One of the final pieces of my recovery from my bladder removal is finding clothes that 'work' and don't highlight my bag, but rather minimize it, AND my desire to have a fanny pack looking thing (called an ostomy bag cover) to go over my bag so I can wear my hip-hugger type pants. Well, the Lord came through on both counts in pretty amazing ways.
For the fanny pack thing I was referred by a friend a couple weeks ago to a local seamstress who has done these before. It was a little more expensive than I had wanted to pay, so I wasn't exactly jumping on getting that done. I was just mentioning that I was pursuing getting this ostomy bag cover thing to a friend of mine (didn't mention price or my hesitation about the price - just that I was pursuing it) and she dropped by a check that turns out will cover 2 covers plus the material for them and she had no idea how much they cost!! That was just amazing to me!
And then yesterday, we were over at a friend's house and she had gone through her closets and had 2 large bins full of clothes along with a bunch of clothes on hangers that she is going to get rid of but wanted me to see if there were items that I would like to have out of the bunch. I think there were over 100 items of clothing, and I ended up keeping about 20 items!! Here is one of the shirts - love it!! It's SO comfy!! I just feel so incredibly blessed beyond measure! The thing is, when I was finally feeling up to going and shopping for clothes, Covid-19 hit and closed all the stores! Then they have finally been opening, but I didn't even know what I was looking for! This was SO great to have a bunch of clothes to choose from and all I had to do was try them on! Some of these still have tags on them! It is really true, the Lord is able to do immeasurably more than we can even ask or imagine! So VERY grateful!!!
