bunnyman666 Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Real update: Did my first bag change at home. Home health was going to have me wait for them to come out, when ever that was going to be. Home health comes whenever they want, but let’s just say my bag was not going to wait. Whilst avoiding any dignity-killing leaks and/or full blow outs, when I pulled off the bag, it was not going to wait and possibly could have been a nasty surprise today, tonight or tomorrow. Things have changed shape, including a 1/2” divot below the rest of the skin. There is stuff to build those areas back up. I still don’t have it perfect, I fear. But I will NOT wait for home health to change these things. They will need to work around my schedule unless they want to clean up from the leaks. Still in plenty of pain. Lots of naps...

bunnyman666 Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 I am having pretty horrendous problems with my pouching. It is resulting in a terrible skin irritation that makes poison ivy feel like a spa treatment. Of course this is happening on a holiday weekend, so I don’t see an ostomy nurse until Tuesday. My stoma opening points down, meaning that the discharge is going under the flange around my stoma, causing leaks and resultant irritation.

At least you’re at home; imagine how much hospital-bed Bunny would have wanted to be in your place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTH Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 The bag sounds like fun. Can't imagine itching so bad that poison ivy is a spa treatment. Sorry man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnyman666 Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Got the real Wound/Ostomy nurse here today. He is a very nice fellow. He changed the shit bag. He confirmed that my ostomy is oriented in a very peculiar direction. He has ordered a few samples based on his observations. I had discussed with him how easy the last one was compared to this one. I am hoping that as this stoma settles down and shrinks that everything morphs into something easier to deal with. This part of the deal has been difficult to deal with to say the least.

bunnyman666 Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 I did finally get the pouching thing down. I hope none of the membership has to go through this, but I do have a pro tip for those who may go through this and drink beer: the gas from beer drinking can, and in some cases WILL blow your bag off of your abdomen. It has happened TWICE. No fun. Tomorrow, if the scheduling staff did their jobs correctly, I am starting a series of two testing proceedures to see where my healing has taken me to see when I will have my last procedure to see when I will be bag-free. I say if the scheduling staff did their jobs correctly as I never got a confirmation in the mail, including instructions on clear diet today. Fun NOT. This upcoming surgery will be the easiest to recover from, yet it will be the hardest to rehab as there may be anal incontinence issues from the initial inability to hold my poo. Joy, oh joy! I guess I can start posting on the old man club thread trying to convince myself that Lisa Rinna was right about how sexy Depends can be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 It has come to my attention that my content has fallen flat on this crowd. Rather than trying to pointlessly attempt to elicit laughter from my lack of pertinent content as I am frankly bitter about my current inability to participate in the game of hockey, I will be curtailing my participation and allow those who have more relevant content to take the spotlight. The direction of this forum is gear oriented; me getting out of the way of the forum’s direction will provide material that the majority of this forum will enjoy, rather than sully this forum with sophmoric attempts at humour. I am going to continue to focus upon my recovery and will hopefully, one day, have content that will reflect my hopefully future participation as a goalie. Please know that I am posting this in the interest of allowing this forum to flourish, rather than being drug down by poor content. I wish this forum well.

Lucky Pucker Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Well, I think you have more to contribute while on the IR than I do as a net minding neophyte who skates 1-2 a week, but I understand your decision. Respect, @bunnyman666. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naz Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I have been following along @bunnyman666 and have appreciated your humour, especially that last Lisa Rinna joke (side note, I remember when she was on Days of our Lives). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
