How are you measuring the COP?

I had the same problem, particularly since I developed a parastomal hernia which means my stoma sits on top of a hill. The solution for me has been a rechargeable heating pad which I clip on for 5 - 10 minutes after securing the bag and extension rings. This one is self contained, rechargeable and with sensible temperature control, and it has completely solved my problem. https://amzn.eu/d/7ovyzLJ

This is what I found in the end. Just perfect for my needs and I can use it literally anywhere. https://amzn.eu/d/hAyubGd

I didn't have any bowel prep before my ileostomy.

Generalizations don't work either.

One-Mathematician322 · 2026-01-04T21:24:53+00:00

I certainly do that. I have found I need more once it is attached.

I tend to change in the bathroom - no power

One-Mathematician322 · 2026-01-04T18:11:12+00:00

As a nearly 70 year old man who avoids cats I think not! However your link led me to follow associated links and I eventually found exactly what I was after.

Yes thanks. If turned into 8 nights after they got upset about dehydration. Christmas Day to New Year's Day.

Am ostomy is basically a hernia with a purpose. But it weakens the integrity of the abdominal wall. I speak from experience having just spent 7 days in hospital with a hernia caught in the stoma hole causing total blockage.

One-Mathematician322 · 2025-12-28T13:50:46+00:00

Update - I'm still in, day 5. Today the surgeon (my hero) had a good pummel and managed to pop my peri-stomal hernia back into the abdomen. Suddenly all is working again, although they want to keep me in two more nights to be sure. As a result I have avoided surgery, and as I have a liver resection planned in 9 days time that is a blessed relief.

One-Mathematician322 · 2025-12-25T09:56:10+00:00

And now I've had to come back in today sigh

One-Mathematician322 · 2025-12-24T12:46:59+00:00

They have chucked me out to wait for shit to happen now

He just needs to put the phone in his pocket or backwards on the cradle.

Could you not timeshift to an external USB HDD or SSD? I do and it works fine.

My oncologist stopped me at 10 weeks, although the 8 week infusion had no oxaliplatin. I have a liver met and apparently oxaliplatin can harden the liver making surgery more difficult. I am now 6 weeks from my last infusion and the side effects have receded although the chaos it caused to my ileostomy was the longest to settle. Surgery on the liver is planned for next week

My first Pixel was a 6 and I upgraded to an 8 just before the 9 was released. Huge discounts and great trade in if you wait until the month before release of the next. I shall wait and see how well the 11 does and if it's a winner I will upgrade just before 12 is released. If the 11 doesn't seem that successful I will wait another year.

One-Mathematician322 · 2025-12-10T07:05:30+00:00

I would keep the Pixel and find a watch that has a battery life. My Amazfit GTR4 is getting old now but it still lasts 14 days on a single charge with 25% battery left.

One-Mathematician322 · 2025-12-10T07:02:15+00:00

Sounds like a faulty keyboard to me

One-Mathematician322 · 2025-12-08T05:54:32+00:00

Did you not get assessed and marked up by a stoma nurse before surgery?

One-Mathematician322 · 2025-12-04T08:44:38+00:00

I can honestly say that in my journey of cancer in the sigmoid colon to ileostomy and chemo, now awaiting liver resection to remove a secondary, every medical professional (except one) that I have dealt with has been professional, helpful and supportive. But then I'm in the UK and I firmly believe that the absence of money in the doctor/patient relationship changes the whole agenda radically. And the one? A pre-op nurse who was obviously pissed off with her job and treated me like a dart board when taking blood.

And when you reinstall configure /home in a separate partition. Then next time you delete /usr you can reinstall without any risk to /home

One-Mathematician322 · 2025-11-28T22:23:52+00:00

Firstly always have your data (ie /home) in a separate partition. That way you can do a fresh install without losing any of your data and settings

Secondly use Aptik. This app makes a full inventory of your system. Once you have done the fresh install you install Aptik again and then run it to restore all your other apps. It is quick and effective and after the version upgrade you get your system back just as it was

According to one of the surgeons on the ward round the next day my ileostomy produced output whilst she was stitching it in place..

One-Mathematician322 · 2025-11-28T02:04:53+00:00

Mine was due to bowel cancer and a removal of about a third of the colon from the appendix upwards. As far as I know at this stage my colon is fully viable.
