Will definitely test each when I figure out how to seal them and drain them. Good thing I like YouTube.... Thanks once again.

This site has been a blessing for me in learning how to cope with and navigate this journey as an ostomate. I have a colostomy as a result of a perforation in my colon since May of this year. I don't know yet if it will be permanent or reversible. The people on here have provided me with so much advice and information about living with an ostomy that I don't think I could get anywhere else. You all have given me hope and a place to come to for support. I still struggle with acceptance, but know that it will come if I am patient. Patience has never been my strong suit! Also, I love all the humor, although it really pissed me off when I first came on here. Thanks to all of you.

First time I've ever had to fill out forms for customs. Kind of a cool experience.

A convex ostomy skin barrier can help prevent output leakage and skin issues. Unfortunately, some misconceptions about convexity may keep people with ostomies from using it.

I don't know about all that, but thanks. I just had some extra bags and stuff that I wasn't going to use, so I sent her a package. I think it's ridiculous that those in Canada have to pay for their stuff with their healthcare system. And it doesn't help your pocketbook if you're sick, older, not working, etc. Anywho, thanks again.
