Greetings..

Having spoken to Kas, we both have decided to purge our inventory of unused, mostly expired, donated from others, ostomy supplies.

She and I will be listing our inventory for you to decide if you'd like some spare supplies for those "oh shizt" moments you run out or can't stop leaking.

It pays to have extra supplies.

There should be no issue with expired supplies. Some...not all will be expired and given to you.

We have quite an inventory. Kas will post her stuff, ASAP.

I will get to mine a bit later this evening or tomorrow.

It is my hope you're going to the con in Orlando in Augustβ€”in less than 2 months from nowβ€”and you see something from our inventory you may want, need, or just want to try? Reach out to me. I will bring it for youβ€”whatever you need.

This is the perfect opportunity for those going to the UOAA conference.

If you are not going, we can mail whatever you need, too.

No obligation to pay for these. However, depending on demand, it would help fray our own out-of-pocket expenses.

Again, some products are expired but brand new, donated to Kas and me over the years.

Just give us the product number of what you need. Hopefully, we can match it exactly. And will let you know.

What do you think? Can I get a high five here or what? πŸ€­πŸ–

I will be down at Mayo next month on the 17th and 18th for anyone there or along my travel from Duluth!

If I was a relative newbie with an ostomy, I have no doubt that this site would be very helpful to me.  The members are quick to respond to questions and issues and they are filled with experience.  When I joined, I already had a lifetime with an ostomy, so I just regard it as a place to meet and communicate with other folks similarly situated.  Either way, it is a good site.

Thanks, buddy. Glad to do it, but no one is answering the call for even spare supplies.

I am grateful for those who donated. They are the angels.

And we are the Stomarines, the few and proud. ☺️

Do you need a few dollars to help?

No, sir, but thank you. πŸ‘

I'm really hoping I can get people the products they need if Kas and I have them.

No costs are involved there if I bring it all to the convention.

It's "tick tock" time as the con approaches. πŸ•›πŸ•πŸ•‘πŸ•’πŸ•“πŸ•”πŸ••

Kas and Warrior, you're helping so many people, including me.

warrior
Jun 23, 2025 6:01 pm

Thanks. We sure hope so.

Already got one request.

Kas and I felt the products we have from donated members are going to waste. Other than donating our stuff to local hospitals ourselves, we felt it was important to try and get the word out to our community before doing that.

It pays to have spare supplies. Backups. If we have what members need, reach out soon. Thanks!

My mother-in-law had an ileostomy, and we have a lot of supplies left. Do you know of anyone I can bless with them?

Good work!

BW for the conference - if it were nearer, I would go!

TY Warrior and Cas

Will look forward to catching up with the highlights when you are back home - have a great trip!

AND .....

If Salts [UK manufacturers] have a presence - probably not - remember to look at their products and encourage Salts to supply the States - as I think they currently do not cover distribution in the US?

.... just a thought.

Excellent! And thank you for your sympathetic ear and sound advice when I was so shaken from an unsettling MAO experience. You empowered and grounded me. πŸ™πŸΌ

Aww.. you're welcome. Any time, kiddo. 🫠

warrior
Jun 23, 2025 9:45 pm

Yep. Me or Kas.. if you would rather just list exactly what you have now, that would be great. In addition to my list and Kas' list, your list would enable members to ask you directly for the products.

Now, if you don't want to do that, you could send us your stuff too.

It might be faster and beneficial to others if you listed your stuff here. Think about it. Let me know, okay?

Thanks. Yes, I'm sure others from here (MAO) will be posting photos daily from there (Orlando) - the conference.

That would be a sight if salts had reps there. I will get "Johnny Eagle Eye" involved in the hunt. 😁 - Warrior

I do not.

You could try your local stoma nurses or see if there's a support group. Otherwise, folks here may be.

Kas
Jun 23, 2025 11:44 pm

So I have 5 pages of inventory and only a little that's expired. I put up photos, but anyone can just send Warrior/me your requests.

warrior
Jun 24, 2025 1:30 am

Good job, Kas. I received those 5 pages. And see it posted under separate cover. Cool beans. Two ways to find it.

I will condense it to just item name and product number for folks here. Great stuff.

Hardly any of your inventory is expired. Which is wonderful to know in advance.

.

Due to technical issues with my vehicle πŸ˜– this evening, posting items tonight will be extended to tomorrow. πŸ‘

Kas
Jun 24, 2025 10:14 am

I didn't see where you posted the products, or I would've just sent you my list to add to yours.

Hope your vehicle is up and running smoothly again!

warrior
Jun 24, 2025 12:33 pm

Gm. Yeah...I'm gonna condense and post your info here.. then mine. Just the item numbers for now.

Car will be running soon. Gotta wait till evening. It's already 80Β° here at 8:30 a.m. UghπŸ₯΅
