It's been a little over a year and a half since my colostomy and I just experienced my second public leaker . My pouch was empty when I got to wallmart to do some grocery shopping,But I had just got done eating a half a box of Godiva chocolates that I got from my husband on Valentines day.There I am filling my cart with groceries and I suddenly felt my pouch rapidly filling with poo not realizing that my pouch was starting to leak. I bumped into a friend of mine who usually gives me a big hug when she sees me,but for some reason she just said hello and ran off in a hurry.I thought maybe she was just having a bad day. After i was done filling my cart I thought I felt someting warm and wet on my thigh. OH Sh!t What do I do? leave my cart of groceries and go home? Or do I go to the line and pay for my goceries and hope knowone can smell poo. I decided to go ahead and pay for my groceries. I didn't feel like making a second trip to the store later. Luckily there was only one person behind me and knowone in front of me.I got home and sure enough I had leaked and it was running down my leg. Must of been the chocolates I ate.I cursed and cussed all the way home feeling embarrised and angry as all hell about it. Donna
