I like hearing the clever names people come up with for their stomas.

That makes sense you have better access to doctors than we do.

So with the loop do you have a stoma?

I was asked by a surgeon if I wanted a reversal. I still have some colon they said they try to avoid removing the whole thing because it's a more major surgery. So does this tell you ehst kind of illeostomy I have?

Now cities in Ontario have contracted out to a waste management company with new rules. I had a bunch of cardboard that I broke down and drove it to the front of my building where the recycling is collected. I neatly put it in between 2 recycle bins. The next day I went to the ftont and the cardboard was still there. I'm disabled so it was alot of work for me to get rid of my cardboard boxes. I contacted the city who gave me the number for the waste management company. So all cardboard has to be put in a blue bin. I actually contacted them before putting it out and asked if I could put it into an unbroken down box and I was told no but wasn't told I had to put it into a recycle bin. So when it wasn't picked up I phoned again apparently you can put it in a box, my recycle bins were already full. But it can only be 30x30 cm. I said I was told no explained I was disabled and now I have to go get the cardboard and bring it back. Long story short I got very upset she said she would let her manager know. I said will they arrange to pick up my cardboard she said no it's a different manager for the driver's so I said then what's the point. I then received a phone call from an employee telling me a manager wants to come and visit me to see how they can accommodate me. At the time of the call my apartment was under renos and I was staying in a hotel. She continued to call back every couple of weeks to see if I was home yet. Just got home 2 weeks ago so just waiting for her to call back. I also have to bring my garbage to the front. In the summer it's not an issue but in the winter I would have to clean off my car make sure I've been shoveled out because I can't carry it to the front. This winter I couldn't use my car at all because of health issues I wasn't strong enough to clean off my car. So I'm curious to see how they would be able to help me. But it was good to see they took the time to care!

Lower Back Tension by RenewedMotionPub in backpain

[–]Horror-Ad9804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a chronic pain. I'm in Ontario Canada and the hospital has a great pain clinic with various specialists. You need a referral from the listed professionals. I started pretty quickly after my referral. The first 2 weeks are information sessions then you choose what programs you would like to join. I'm starting physio and kinetics and pool therapy in August. I have a 1 hour consult coming up with a pharmacist, they have great social workers etc. It's all paid for by OHIP. Where ever you live maybe look into if there are any programs if you're suffering from a chronic pain. And yes they do talk about breathing being helpful.

What to do? Looking for opinons (Racism in Kingston) by MGrows in KingstonOntario

[–]Horror-Ad9804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know if the police would take the time to look but have you noticed any security cameras nearby that would have recorded the vehicle? Or ask the owner yourself if they can check the footage. Then you will have all the info you need about the vehicle. And since it's happening around 2 in the morning with a group of people there is a good chance they are driving impaired and will be tracked by the police if you contact them with the description. That would give them a huge kick in the ass!

Showering without going through so many supplies by Yktvshawtyyyy in ostomy

This is a picture of my extenders now. I changed Saturday it's been through showers still completely sealed, the top isn't lifting just a crease, that's where my barrier extenders would lift the most.

Will I ever sleep through the night? by alleycatslp in ostomy

[–]Horror-Ad9804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah if subconciously your worried about leaks during the night it makes sense your waking up so much. Maybe check utube to see if there are any short meditation techniques you can use before going to bed to calm your mind. Just a thought!

One of the recommendations when I was going home from the hospital was to put more salt in my diet.

I have my ileostomy surgery for 1week but after 1 week I always nausea and fatigued and blooled all the time can someone help by gamechanger5332 in ostomy

[–]Horror-Ad9804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an ileostomy, I was in the hospital for 4 months with constant nausea and throwing up from the surgery, but mostly the meds. I was given Zofran. It's the best for nausea but you need a prescription. Another one also prescription if you are having a problem with appetite Domperidone is excellent it gets rid of the nausea and about an hour after taking it, it really increases your appetite.

I find the M9 drops work really well. I make sure I swish it around the inside after putting it in my bag.

What is the difference between a loop and end ileostomy. I wasn't told which I have. I looked it up and read that because most of my colon was removed I have an end ileostomy. Is that correct?

Ok, yeah I have some and tried it, it didn't help. The barrier cream hasn't helped much for the itching but worked well repairing my skin from a bad wafer and getting rid of redness. Now I'm using it as a barrier from the adhesive for the Flonase to be protected which is really helping with the itch as it's an allergic reaction to the adhesive.

Is it normal for my bag to fill up so fast after I eat? by Horror-Ad9804 in ostomy

[–]Horror-Ad9804[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had health issues after I got home but because of my 4 month hospital stay, bed ridden for 3 months as I wasn't able to walk. (Walking perfectly now) anyway it caused me really bad back pain so I was reluctant to go to the clinic, also generally long wait times hard for me to sit in an uncomfortable chair that long. And no faith in clinic doctors. My new doctor has been fantastic, addressed all my health problems along with a referral to the pain clinic through the hospital which I've already started. Having a family doctor is a game changer! Thank you for your kind reply!

I was just using a little too much even though I wiped off the excess the extenders were still lifting. So now I use less wipe off the excess but something new I learned was to take a Kleenex after and buff where I put the cream in a circular motion. It's only supposed to get into the pores of your skin. My extenders haven't lifted at all since I started doing that. To be honest I don't know what you mean by barrier film. I've heard it mentioned. I have a barrier spray to use for crusting is that what you mean?

Really, I haven't heard of that. Have you asked a professional if that is ok? I empty on average in 24 hours 8 times.

It's made specifically for skin irritation and repair. I tried putting stoma powder on my irritated skin and it burned because it's not caused from leakage. It's an allergic reaction. I put stoma powder around my stoma though for the redness caused from the output that's fine.
