I posted the article written by Rida in a previous blog.
What I like most is the response I received from someone who wrote: Thank you. I'm so new at this!
I have included the responses to the article:
If there is anything I can do to help others dealing with this, don't hesitate to ask.
You should be aware that I continue to experiment with various methodologies.
I have been able to re-use the flange by placing it in a baggie with water for a day or two and then rinsing it.
I use either Skin Tac or Osto Bond to attach the flange. I also use "Strappal" medical tape to provide
additional adhesion

This is just the sort of article that helps to disseminate information and educate the general public about the world of stomas in a positive way. It is good to see what a journalist can do with such a story, and Rida certainly did well. Let's hope many more people get to read and enjoy it. Best wishes, Bill

Hey Ed, I think the young lady did a good job describing you, your demeanor, and your attitude. With absolutely no disrespect to Tracey and Theresa, you are the most informed on this subject, and I thank you for representing us so well.
Sincerely,

Ed Maste Thank you, but it was Rida who wrote it. Lol
Zywie StormDancer Very nice Ed. Liked the brazen attitude part - it's you. Hugs
Ed Maste What really makes it worthwhile is the positive comments I received from fellow ostomates.

Col Justin F. Blum Outstanding interview. You touched on some excellent points in which ostomates, regardless of how many years they have had a bag, can truly benefit!
