I have just got back from my first trip away from home. Exactly 6 months since I got my pal Bilbo attached.
I rented a static caravan for 4 nights as I thought this would be the best way to learn how to live with Bilbo without having to worry about others.
I have to say it worked out very well.
Getting up 3 or 4 times a night to empty Bilbo.
I followed what my mother used to say:
Prepare for the worst and pray for the best.
I used flange extensions for the first time and it definitely saved one poonarmi.
I used extra-large puppy pads on the bed and took all my own bedding.
If there was any indication of a leak at all, I changed the pouch.
So, overall I am very pleased with myself for surviving the trip and I have booked a 14-day cruise in November.
The second first?
I finally had an intentional bagless shower!
Happy Stomaland Daze
