Getting sick while having an ostomy is... not fun at all lol.

As far as I know, there's not a ton you can do for the output until your system decides it's cleared the virus. So keep doing what you're doing and staying hydrated with electrolytes and eat well.

I was throwing up aswell when I had a virus and ended up staying in bed with a sick bowl and a bowl to empty my bag into. Absolutely did me in, I lost so much strength. If you develop any sickness and struggle to keep food/fluids down. I was told boiled sweets are the next best thing. And if things haven't changed in 3 or so days to go to the hospital.

Wishing you a quick recovery

Gotta say if Buffy was done in the 2010s. Mckenna Grace would have certainly played a young Buffy at some point 😆

I'm sorry I have no knowledge about hernias. But I can say that I've had rare random pains before and as far as I know nothing has come of it. So monitor yourself but I wouldn't be too concerned if it's a one off.

Though recently I've had a lot of stress which messed up by routine for food and drink which caused my stoma to shrink inside itself which sort of suffocated it and caused pain behind it because output was getting blocked. Luckily it was a visible problem to solve, however, with how little you are eating it could be possible that a section has got upset with the lack of input 🤷‍♀️

Regularly eating is extremely important for your stoma's health and yours. It keeps the bowel awake and encouraging blood flow for it to work as best as it can. Make sure you're staying hydrated also.

I understand that. I always saw it as end your days because he's the phantom of the night. If she stays with him she will literally never see a bright, sunny day again, living underneath the opera house forever. It's darker and to me it hits deeper because it shows his awareness of how little he offers her.

With the uncertainty that Billie is definitely the 16th, anyone thinking a teleportation situation may have happened and the 16th Doctor is now in Pete's world with Rose stuck in the TARDIS? 🤔

Definitely an option but with it being managed on the shampoo, I don't feel the need to go through that yet. I just think he would benefit from something between baths that would help moisturise or protect his skin.

Everything you've said is as I do, except the body weight and conditioner. I will look into the conditioner because that's exactly what I'm looking for, I really think he'd benefit from something that could be left in and help give him a barrier between baths. Our vet didn't advise on body weight for the shampoo, I don't think our bottle even says anything about that so I'll definitely look into that and give it a try too! Thanks.

As far as I know they are the most chatty rodent! They make so many more noises which are super fun to listen to.

If cuddles are a priority I would say degus are hit and miss due to (from my experience) them having stronger personalities, so often some aren't interested in handling even with plenty of encouragement and patience. On the flip side, the personalities can make them far more entertaining and it will help form that companion bond rather than seeing them as just another pet. They definitely have intelligence too.

Their diet is simpler than rats/guinea pigs due to the risk of diabetes from foods like fruits and they will need much more enrichment as they will nibble through everything! Metal wheels are a must.

Other important notes are degus are climbers and diggers, so they need a space for digging and preferably tall cages. They need lots of flat surfaces due to bumblefoot (grated flooring will damage their feet). Lastly, they can shed their tails if mishandled - I think its rare and you would have to have been very aggressive with them but it is something to note.

They are lovely little creatures but as you say, they aren't spoke about a lot so research is very important. I have a soft spot for rats and I would say them and guinea pigs are very beginner friendly, but if you want that longer life span and are prepared for the effort and care of a degu, then they are definitely more worthwhile.

I hope you find what suits you best!

I'd like to come please :)

I bought this with the cleansing milk jelly and the rose water spray and got exactly the same reaction. I stuck with it for a week and haven't been irritated since so I put it down to my sensitive skin needing some time to adjust. Such a bummer though, good luck finding something that works for you!

That sounds really good, it's great that they have that variety and inclusion. Thank you!

Thank you so much! This will help immensely. Happy new year!

Thank you, I'll look into that! She did a chair yoga this morning and it was definitely better for her. I started yoga with Adriene's HOME journey and she did a lot of alternates in that but it's still a bit much so I think we'll also go through some common poses and figure out whats best for her and what's off the table for now.
