Between emptying, changing, prepping our supplies and attending to other ostomy related stuff, I wonder how much time we spend each day or week. Before our ostomies some of us spent the day in the bathroom and we’ve gotten back a lot of time since then. Maybe some of us are spending more time than we really need to and might learn some shortcuts. Irrigation, butt mucous attention, applying EZ vents and other things take time. Of course reading the papers on the pot took time also.
Just wondering.
