Best Decision Ever!

I have to admit, when I make a good decision for myself, I want to share it. As I explained in an earlier post, I had somewhat major surgery on my left hand. I was very worried about being able to manage sweet "Maxine" on my tummy with changing out my ostomy bag and barrier. The decision to switch to non-drainable bags until I could use both hands was a stellar move on my part. At first, it was a challenge, but after two or three tries, I was good to go and can easily and quickly make the change as needed. Granted, I do go through the bags more often, but with that aside, it is so much easier to manage with one hand. The VA was so understanding and accommodating with my need to switch for a time. I don't know what I would have done without them. If any of you ever have to have hand surgery or another surgery that takes away the use of one of your hands and need advice, please message me. I have adapted a lot of different ways of working things with one hand and can help you to learn to make your temporary situation livable. Cheers!!

Great to hear Freedancer! I think the non drainable are easier as well. 
Glad it has worked out so well for you! It makes a difference!
