Urgent: Need Spare Colostomy Supplies in Metro Atlanta

This topic is about someone in Metro Atlanta who urgently needs colostomy supplies like pouches, wafers, and one-piece systems. They have run out and their new order won't arrive until the end of next week. They are reaching out to the local community for any spare supplies that others might be able to share. Here are some helpful suggestions for them:

1. A community member suggested checking a previous forum thread where someone was giving away ostomy supplies. This might be a good place to find what is needed.

2. If the supplies are needed immediately, visiting a local hospital's Emergency Room could be a solution. The staff there can often provide a few wafers and pouches to help until the new order arrives, even if they are not the exact brand or model.

3. It might also be helpful to visit or call a hospital with a wound care or ostomy nurse. These departments usually have a variety of spare supplies and can provide enough to last until the shipment comes in.
