As the title says, things are not too bad at the moment. On the whole the appliances I am using are lasting ok, I get a couple of days out of them which is nice. The worst thing is to have to change the bag when it decides rather than me. If I need to change it because it is leaking you can bet your life the stoma is going to be working at the same time. The biggest problem is the skin under the stoma is still sore and bleeding. I now have some goo that I have to lump on top of the skin to form a barrier between the output and the weeping skin. This is working ok at the moment but I will be glad when it is healed and I won't have to slap it in. It is an alcohol based paste and it does sting a bit! (That's putting it mildly).
So, life is improving now, the hernia belt still not arrived so that is causing worries but hopefully that will be here soon and I can get back to work. I am able to get out and about, walking a lot further than I have been for about 8 months feels so nice. Still intend doing the Walk the Wight next year so better get fit.
That's all for now.
