What ever floats our boat Tony--- But if you/things change? try this-- Glsd u'r doing o.k.  

How r u doing now Barb????? Got the family involved?  They should be there for u at all times.. Doing better ???????

Part of using this type bottle is increasing the pressure when squeezed harder to somewhat acting like hose. Another is to remove the output around stoma. When I direct the nozzle to different parts of the pouch it’s like having a fresh pouch again by using this method,I then will  the reapply the oil again.

When directing the flow of water at the stoma will at times stimulate more output.

No not yet.  Still not too hot, got a bit of temp, so, me thinks I will be going.  Just totally dreading the thought of another surgery.  3 major ones in 2017 already is enough.  Just trying to put myself in a good place mentally

GO ----- doesn't mean surgery--- Your choice--don't let the yellow rose fade......... 

Ya, but they make it so convincing that you think you'll die if you don't consent. And as little as I know they could probably scare the bejeebers out of me.  Oh and by the way, this is me in procrastination mode.

Your not going to die.......... All they will do is have u drink some stuff-IF NEEDED-- and feel around your belly-- real NICE like.. maybe take an x-ray or MRI.. You will be awake through it all-- I think that u got yourself into a tizzy now-You had a long day of this..take a nice bath-- or lay down and try to relax.. Have a nice cup of hot tea.. Nothing bad is going to happen Barb.. Trust Me?? Think of the yellow rose that I put aside for you that Tom gave me 2 dozens.. See? I saved one for you seperatly.. Yellow is a happy color.. Think of that.. Happy.. :-)........  You will feel better in the morning...  Give me a holler is u  want... M.

Brabara,  You go and lay down for 1/2 hour, and I will go have a cig. :-(  then let me know how your doing.. ok.???????? 

Sounds like a plan. I do have a horrid imagination that always tends toward the horrible

Your just scared-that is ok. If u relax? your tummy WILL relax too. Imaginations get the best of us at times/. But that is all they are............ 

I think I am calming down a bit. Just gotta shut down the brain for a bit...or at least a part of it. Thanks for support. The yellow rose lives.

Good for you--Now get into bed and have a glass of water next to you and dream sweat dreams.. And stay off this blog for the night! That will clam your mind.. I am going to bed now too, Take my night pills and have a rest myself!!!  Just checking in with u..  Got infusion Monday..

Glad the yellow rose lives............ :>) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Water is in place along with emergency towels etc in case Stella sounds off. Like youg . , now pills, shoot up with insulin and try to sleep. You are right about staying off for the rest of the night before this becomes an obsession 

Good luck Barbara . Get feeling better

I too rinse every time I empty my pouch and I have never had an issue of any kind.  

I rinse until it is clean.  I use tape water with a bit of mouth wash for oder protection.  I have been doing this since my surgery 14 months ago.

Hi Elaine . Sounds like you and I do about the same thing . And our surgeries were not far apart . Thanks for the tip about the mouthwash don't think I've heard that one before .

Hi Robert. Your welcome. My nurse at the hospital told me about using it and in fact she always used it when she showed me how to look after “Sammy”

How r u doing to dat Barbara?
