I am not in a good place right now. After seeing the wound care nurse yesterday and putting the ring and flange on right apparently, I woke up at 3:30am with a leak. I haven't slept yet. I am so tired of this and all the trips to the bathroom to empty. I go to the bathroom as much as I did before surgery! I am seriously doubting now if I made the right decision to have the surgery. I know people say it will get easier and I am waiting for that day. It's just not getting better as I hoped.
