Hello, I have heard great responses from several folks here that irrigate. I finally received my supplies today. I received the stoma caps and wafers, in addition to the irrigation kit which includes the sleeves and the other items. I am very nervous to start. The nurse that I can call is the surgeon's assistant, not an ostomy nurse, but she has recommended that I start. They are pretty far from where I live. Does anyone think that I can just go for it or do I need to sit with someone to teach me how to do it? I have been checking out the YouTube videos and I must say that they have been very informative. I also have a stoma that is not completely hidden and I am hoping that this is not a problem. Can you guys please send me some information? Thanks.
