Ahh first off what is more important bleeding to d???h or your job.I had some blood from a hernia in my abdomen and I cut my stoma with an electric grinder.I opted for the doctor.The stoma can be cut very easy by walking into something or from eating things like nuts, seeds, and others but it sounds like you caught it on something if you work in a store.

In any case your health is first

I bumped my stoma and it bled a while, then looked bruised for a few days. I didnt go to my little local Hospital, I would if it was bleeding profusly. Keep an eye on it...It should stay bright red(which is healthy) Dont be afraid of having it checked if it keeps bleeding. I understand about your job, they are hard to get these days; But please dont jeopardize your health.

Miyzy, Man may God Bless you honey, I wish you could call the Doctor and talk to him or his Nurse, I know you need your job, but your life is so Precious, I will do as biker Greg and Pray for you with my soul.  But I do hope you talk to your Doctor or Nurse, no one should have to suffer as much as you have Miyzy.  Sometimes I read stories and I see it is just one sad life and I cant fix it.  I'm way Blessed in life and I do know that, I wish you were also and so many others who need help.  I can't tell you how sorry I am and how hard it is to even write you.  You are a Genuine Saint and a rare one at that, I know God and all of his Angels are watching over you and Protecting you and they will keep you safe.  But they also gave us Doctors to call when we need them and it sounds like you need one, I Pray you at least call and for Vitamin B shots, they are good and once a week is all you really need one, I only know what I gave patients in Atlanta, not sure how they do it in Canada.  I hope you feel better soon and every Angel and every Saint please watch over Miyzy as she needs you all now.  God Bless You Miyzy, Love always, Jenny
