Got my replacements, did a few tests, and they seem fine. Interestingly enough, the lot number is the SAME as the detective ones. This is, I hope, a...

Ouch! Thanks for sharing that @alexanderuk. Rest is going to be the #1 factor in healing. Don't overdo anything. As for diet, I'd also suggest kee...

Has the wound fully healed, Rick? You had the surgery a while (over a year ago), right? Has the itching just started, or has it gone on for a while? ...

Hi Brandi. Yes, you should have no trouble using the Coloplast barrier rings or protective seals with Hollister wafers. In fact, you should be able to...

@dlkfiretruck I appreciate the update, Linda. Stay strong 💪💪💪

Thanks for sharing, @john68! I was able to watch it using a paid VPN set to London, UK and using a dummy account to log in. 😀 I love these types ...
