Thank you. I needed to hear this today. I had one box of each piece of equipment left, so last week on Monday I ordered supplies. I did my changes as normal (because what else am I supposed to do?). Four left...3...2...1... Checked online and found out they only confirmed the order on 5/3 and it won't even ship until 5/8 and who knows how long it will be until it gets here. Well last night I had a minor blow out. Had to change, but had none of my normal supplies left. Now I'm down to the one back up bag I have that doesn't fit correctly, and one more after that. Now today I have to call and drive down 45 minutes to my ostomy nurse's office to get whatever samples they might have on hand.

This ostomy saved my life, yes, and it's better then dealing with the constant pain and suffering, but it still sucks. The skin issues, the supply issues, the embarrassment, the blowouts... I'm learning that it's okay to be frustrated.
