I began my Urostomy life February 27th, 2023...a month and a half ago. I stumbled upon this site from another on Youtube and website called VeganOstomy and between that site and this one, most of my fear and worry of not having any answers other than calling the Dr's office recording menu and hoping to hear back in the next day or two for an answer to leaks, skin irritations etc, or just feeling alone and the "no one understands" thoughts I had to look forward to in my mind were all put to rest by these two websites and the community here at MaO!! I have been here for a few weeks now, and the help and support offered by the members here is just amazing!! The information and support is absolutely priceless for anyone recently out of their surgery and have tons of questions or had it for years...sit down...have a good read and you will see for yourself!!
Hey Sin, I read that as well. I suppose if I were famous, and I am, lololol, luckily some Australian prime minister, I think, not sure, maybe it was Bob Whitlam? That's why we pay $40 or $50 a year for anything we want. I think it was a prime minister, could be wrong. It makes me furious that all the people on here have to pay for all pouches, wipes, powders, and even hernia pant belts, etc. We are all free, man. I wish I could tell our members what happens outside of Australia. They complain about paying to have the supplies posted, which is $9.00. Don't get me wrong, there is a limit every month, but geez, we get so much. Anyone want a hand? If I can get you supplies for free, it's only a matter of postage. I will help you. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mooza, shhh, don't tell anyone xx
