@veganostomy Holy smokes! I think Eric has just revealed his super power! Did not see that coming, I have to admit. Laurie

I have been using Sensura Mio for over 5 years, and I haven’t seen a change in the plastic they use. I haven’t noticed any difference in smell either....

Wow, Jammy, you’ve had a lot to try to cope with in a short time. Why does your surgeon think the leak will repair itself? What other options do you h...

@varg55 Terry, I should add Crohns and Colitis sufferers to the list of super heroes. I think I can safely say that our super powers include a heigh...

John, I saw yesterday that Captain Tom had been hospitalized with Covid, and I thought Oh no! This can’t end well! And of course, it didn’t. So sad fo...

Monday is a 20 X the points day! That’s tomorrow, January 11, and it only lasts for that day. I just got notified on the app today, so if any of you C...
