Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since I have updated this blog.
Where does the time go?
Another embarrassing moment was when I was in L.A. in 1977.
I was at a taping for the Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson.
Unfortunately, Johnny was off that day, but Canadian Rich Little was the
guest host.
But prior to the start of the show, the audience was ready, and nobody was
supposed to leave the studio.
And what happens, my ileostomy starts to leak!
An usher allowed me to go to the washroom, where I was able to put tape on, and
stop the leak until I got back to the hotel, and change the appliance completely.
I work in the paper and print industry, and deliver paper and print supplies.
I drive a 5-tonne truck, and there are a lot of handbombs and crappy deliveries.
I remember one a few years ago, where I had to take a carton of paper out the side door
and slide it onto a two-wheeler, and take it into their shop.
It was 25X38, weighing about 140lbs.
As I tried to slide it onto my two-wheeler, taking it out the side door of the truck,
a corner of the carton hit my thigh, and it tore the bottom of the pouch right open!
Luckily, I had just emptied it earlier, so there wasn't too much to spill out.
That is why I always have an extra pair of pants with me every day. hehehe.
You never know when it is going to start to leak. So be prepared.
