Evening All, This is some thing that Marcie brought up, being comfortable when not well and healing. ie wearing clothes that are loose. Again from another post a member said about wearing sweat pants. when we are post surgery or having may be sores around the stoma, no one should feel bad about doing what is necessary to heal wounds/sores. The most important thing is we do what is best and what takes us back to normal life. So any new members do what it takes wear what suits it part of the journey back from illness.

And who cares what YOU look like!! Feel clean, fresh sheets on the bed, and meals in bed.. do the walking and moving around that YOU want to do--not the other stuff.. After being in the hospital for 6 months, no one evenchanged my bed sheets- the house was a  mess, the kitchen floor was like I was stuckto it-so got a house cleaner-cost $30.00 per hour!!! Had her for 2 years.. Tom was happy that he didn have to do  it.. But I got back on myfeet and I do it all-great exercise.. cleaning around Tom in his chair is an effort tho-- talk about being retired!! HE is well planted..  so- your time will come of good health to anyone that gets sick--some of us just had to heal longer than others..  glad that is over tho-- :-)

AS I have stated before of the last week, I have been having trouble with leaks, pancakings  and changing pouches and waffers.. Last night was the worst!   slept through and had panked stuck to me for hours --- the acid!!! Needless to say I was so raw all over-So got out my NU_HOPE (hate the pouches) but the wafer is so kind.. I am sore --but this helps me through when I get raw.. What I do, is place a monthly orders and when I am satisfied with 2 of the systems I like- I order NU-HOPE for this reason-so I have a back up of 3 different kinds. Takes awhile- now I have to start all over again now..  Get myself set in a few months.. :-) Maybe some of u my want to try this angle--

************notice that I don't need spell check SO much anymore?  My finger healed.......... :-)......................... :-)
