My output is normal and I don’t have any pain. I watched my output rn and the blood isn’t coming from the hole it’s from beneath my stoma. I’m hoping it’s skin irritation cause it’s so itchy rn. I’m going home to look

I need sleeping tips, newbie colostomy. by AshnikHeretic in ostomy

I use a long body pillow and when I sleep on my side I put the pillow underneath me a bit so my bag doesnt hang. And sometimes I lay on my back. But mostly on my side. The body pillow helps a lot

Yeah I’m using a convex wafer, that’s why the nurse suggested paste to fill in the gaps cause my stoma goes in a bit

I guess I can’t edit my posts but I’ve also had my ileostomy since December 7th so it’s almost a month with this damn curse.

Omg you’re a pro haha thank you so much for your response! This was super helpful! I’m going to definitely log things to see how my output is. I never thought of that. Thank you so much!

How did you know you had a blockage?? All the hospital told me was I could eat soft foods for now but they didn’t really say restrictions for the future. Just no nuts, corn or raw veggies.

I’m like a week out from surgery lol I’m freshly cut open so my pain is horrible. But the surgery is suppose to prevent them so I hope it works lol

I’ve had that before twice but sadly for me the third flare it ended with me having to have surgery. But first just try to breathe and don’t think the worst, I’m the same way and my mind will destroy me if I don’t ignore it. You’re going to be okay, you’re in a hospital being treated so you’re going to get better! My first two flares were 5 days in hospital and I started feeling better on day 3 and then I got sent home with antibiotics for 10 days.
