Funny feeling...

Posts:33
 

Hi Osteomates, 

I'm post 3 mo since my stoma placement, total colectomy with end Ileostomy.  I often feel a funny feeling when my output runs into my pouch.  

Any one with this issue?  

Thanks, Ginger

Absolutely. Like an, “oh my” feeling, usually when my output is very wet and warm and spurts out. I've had my ostomy for almost eight years and that feeling still takes me by surprise sometimes.

That's so familiar . It's a weird kind of tingle !!  The one other time / situation I felt that was in the ICU  . The drain tube coming from my side was being removed . As they pulled out the Drainage Tube the  Incision kept getting bigger and bigger !!!  To my amazement out pops a huge Safety Pin attached to TWO Surgical Gloves tied together !!! I could not believe how the incision stretched open and just snapped shut again !! It was just a  Hole in my side , not a long incision . As the flesh stretched to allow the gloves to come through the Tiny hole I felt that same thing . I figure the flesh that the Stoma attaches to is strteched by a gas bubble or lumpy bits in the output  and that's where that sensation comes from . It does go away ,  I guess  when your body gets used to the abnormal anatomical  configuration the nerve endings stay calm .

    Those gloves had me mesmerized , but didn't feel any pain at all ...then again I probably have Demerol to thank for that !! LOL ☘

  Just my experience ☘

Mercy, I'd be telling someone who performed your procedure about the gloves and safety pin...your  So fortunate you could remove it without a lot of discomfort.

 Thanks a bunch for your input regarding my output lol... I do hope this feeling will go away when my skin becomes tougher🤔

Blessings,  Gingerlee

I think it's perfectly normal.  I often feel it when there is a lot of output suddenly coming out, yet most of the time I feel nothing.

Yup  Effie !!! Two Surgical Gloves tied in knots and held with a big Diaper Safety Pin  !!!  They said it creares an open cavity for the Body Fluids collect / Pool inside and then drained from the Cavity after my open belly surgery . I was just amazed at how Stretchy Human flesh is !!! The hole may have been the diameter of the middle joint of the Middle finger so pretty small really . The opening did not tear or rip at all as it stretched to accomodate the balled up gloves ( highly sanitized beforehand of course ) . The safety pin was still nice and shiny , no corrosion , I looked !! . It looks like  a bullet hole in my side !! No , never made up a story  ! That would make a good short story   , have to get writing !!
