With my ileostomy, it can be two-fold: After a rinse, the outlet needs to be dried (not just the lip, but the first 2" inside), and a rinse doesn't ...

@tony-h Phenomenal photos, Tony! So much beauty. Our long weekend was fantastic! Warm to hot, sunny, and no mosquitos! 🤣 It's really nice ...

To clarify, the Disability Tax Credit doesn't give money, like the Ontario Assistive Devices Program does. What it does is lower your taxable income...

This would be a very interesting idea to test! If you decide to rinse again, try with distilled water to see if that makes any difference.

Enjoy your trip @tony-h! Oh wow, that's quite a wild day! Our weather has still been mild and mostly sunny, but the winds make it feel much col...

@tigerlily Such a maddening circumstance, which I'm sure is shared by many who were told they were too young to get checked. Thank you for sharing. ...

Yesterday did end up being beautiful! Sunny and warm, but the wind gusts really picked up later in the day (over 40km/h). Today, overcast and "not ...

Ease of applying was a major pain point for so many people, no doubt, causing some who need it to simply give up. This is a huge step forward. The O...

@chelly Good luck! I would assume that traditional "wet wipes" would contain extra moisturizers and ingredients which could impact the adhesive of ...

Very cold nights, but it warms up quickly during the day. I think it'll be close to 18C this afternoon. I saw goslings yesterday, so our wildlife ar...

We just got a frost warning over here! Dipping into the minuses overnight 😲  

@tigerlily I think the conservative approach here seems balanced between risk and reward. As long as things are stable, I also think waiting is a good...

As Chelly said, you'd need to be examined by a stoma nurse to have your appliance, all the supplies you use, and the area around your stoma assessed b...

We had a few "very cold in the morning, then quite warm in the afternoon" days! Yesterday was sunny and in the high teens! Lots of joggers starting...

@chelly I can completely relate! Even though I can be extremely frugal and quite eco-conscious, it pains me to see how much toilet paper is being used...

I'd let Hollister know. Even with their new outlet/bags, there could always be room for improvement. The bags I've been wearing (generic brand) can ...

For sure. It's amazing to monitor my heart rate and "body battery" through my watch, which confirmed the days when my cold peaked, and when it "went a...

That alone is worth the change! It's an ongoing fear of mine. 🤣
