Hi there.
I submitted a post, probably in June, detailing my woes about my leaky ostomy due to my weight loss. I would like to let everybody know that everything has settled down. I am now using Convatec products, and they seem to work much better than the Coloplast products. (I'm not sure if it's me, but I really think my urine made the adhesive for the Coloplast products break down a little bit faster.) In any case, I am using the two-piece convex products, and I am changing every two days. That seems to be the sweet spot, and I haven't been leaking at all. Hurrah!
Of course, now that that's taken care of, I have carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. At least I am unemployed right now so they can rest, rehab, get cortisone shots, think about surgery, and take care of my cat.
Slight digression - when I received the cortisone shots on Tuesday, the surgeon was worried that it would be too painful. I looked him in the eye and said, after losing my bladder eight years ago and all of those invasive tests, I'm not sure if this is gonna hurt as much. Surprise!!! It did not hurt. The surgeon was slightly shocked…
A huge thank you to everyone who offered advice, love, and laughs. I know I'll get through this…
