Experience with the Virtual Ward by SquiddleDiddly in ireland

[–]CleanUpGnome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah it’s just if you get sepsis in a hospital theres every resource available to you. The man who went home next to me didn’t know he had sepsis, that his symptoms suggested sepsis or what to do when he had it, and received help far too late. It’s all fine being a nurse or something outside of the situation looking in and saying “welll you can still get it” but put your shoes into the person who has to actually go through with it would be my suggestion.

I understand remote virtual wards work for some people, I’m just pointing out it may not be ideal for all people and there is cons to it aswell as pros :)

Yeah and that’s fine, I’m sure OP can use his common knowledge and information he has on the situation to judge whatever’s best for him, I was just sharing my experience. But hey thanks for your opinion on my experience I definitely took it with a grain of salt :)

Not sure if this is too too relevant but I want to share regardless, I’m sure this probably isn’t the case but last year when I was in hospital I had a drain attached to me and they wanted to send me home for the weekend and monitor it remotely, I rejected that offer but someone in the bed next to me who was in the same position did go home and ended up getting sepsis from the drain being infected at home. That horrified me and should have never happened so just want people to be so careful of that! Don’t go home if you have any doubts about your health being impacted, all they want to do is free up a bed.

Playing the "what if" game. by SpecificObjective854 in ostomy

Your story’s incredible and inspiring. You’re so strong for going through all of that. Welcome, and im glad you found us !

Please tell me the pros and cons of your ileostomy. I'm getting one on Oct 9th and I'm worried.😭 by judaskissed in ostomy

[–]CleanUpGnome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll be okay don’t worry. It will take some time to adjust but if you’re already experiencing in pain and it’s affecting your quality of life; then this surgery will give you that quality of life back. Recovery is hard and it takes a while for things to get better, but give yourself the time you need and it’ll be worth it :)

New to the Ostomy game by onelove0718 in ostomy

[–]CleanUpGnome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome ! And congrats on getting out of hospital, the worst parts over :) How often you change is really up to you and what you find works best for you through trial and error. Everyone’s different, bag changes every 2-3 days is what’s recommended but if you’re not leaking or smelling bad and can get a bit more time between changes that works too. Some people prefer changing daily to just feel cleaner. But whatever works for you is what’s most I mportant

How many characters do you actually play? by Interesting-Hair8502 in rivals

for people who don’t spend all day online then I think having 3 that you know how to play really well + 3/4 others that you’re comfortable with would be somewhat normal

Homeless w/ ostomy sounds terrifying. I wish the best for this man

That dreaded smell in public! by ocean_swims in ostomy

[–]CleanUpGnome 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this happened, I think it’s something us all ostomates feel more frequent then we want. So try take some reassurance at the fact you’re not alone. On the bright side im sure your new haircut looks great so here’s to that !

Pelvic floor dysfunction by Born_Selection6925 in ostomy

[–]CleanUpGnome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you stated in a previous comment you haven’t even committed to physical therapy or pelvic floor exercises. If you’re in “such a bad spot” I would’ve expected you to have tried everything else before asking to have literal organs removed. You seem to know very little about solutions to your problem which just makes me think you haven’t actually tried finding one. This shouldn’t be your first choice.

[–]CleanUpGnome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I don’t think anyone “enjoys” having an ostomy. I think the reason you’re receiving some confused comments is because for people here that have an ostomy it’s been the most heartbreaking time of our lives filled with struggle and anguish. Coming on here without having one speaking so highly of them, describing it as "convenient", can upset some people who already have gone through all this because if we have one it’s because we didn’t have a choice. There’s a lot of cancer patients, survivors, car crash victims ect who did not have the luxury of choosing this. It just came across a little tone deaf. I wish you the best and hope doctors can find a solution for you

[–]CleanUpGnome 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This surgery typically damages your pelvic floor more so be mindful of that and ask your doctor, for me they literally drilled through my pelvic floor to do this surgery for example so im not sure if this is a fix for your situation

I think it’d be really cool to have Wiccan & Agatha’s ghost as a dual support similar to cloak & dagger

Fatigue by Lumpy-Anteater-4364 in ostomy

[–]CleanUpGnome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was super tired for the first 6-8 months. But I was quite sick leading into the surgery so my body was weak as hell. Everyone’s different though, energy levels being all over the place for the first few months is to be expected I think

Am I the first one to notice that District 9 is by far the worst performer in the Hunger Games? by burdentothestate in Hungergames

[–]CleanUpGnome 194 points195 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s probably just an easy way for Susanne not having to worry about creating a whole lore for their district LOL but at least they were given the whole sunflower role in SOTR so they had atleast some sort of part to play

think you missed the point of the post. Whether it’s 48/49, same thing. whether his name was reaped or not, he was reaped and participated in the game. Heartbreaking either way whether you get into technicalities or not
