Hello, my blog disappeared so I am starting again. If you are not aware of who I am, I buy/sell/trade Hollister and Convatec products. I am a family man and I own several small businesses because I have family in my life who need extra assistance. May was a great month for me, going to several different Ostomy Support Groups. They were all inspirational and informative. I always felt welcome and encouraged to speak my mind and ask questions. The atmosphere is always very open and honest. The Las Vegas group meeting out of Sunrise Hospital was amazing. This group truly cares about new users. There was much discussion of how to reach out to them, support them, educate them, and show them they are not alone. It was very impressive. I continue to urge everyone to care for their boxes. To someone who uses these products every day, it's hard to spend effort on caring for the boxes. However, it does matter. Things change and boxes with no marks, stickers, tears, odors, etc., are much easier to donate or sell. I have seen many a family member devastated because they had hundreds and hundreds of dollars of supplies that could not be sold because of the poor condition of the boxes and the product. Sometimes the supplies were such a mess they could not even be donated. Thanks for listening, and if you are not involved with a support group, I highly recommend attending at least one meeting. Take care!
Hey~ I do hope that you get this as soon as I write it. It is August 24th, 2013. I am puzzled and have no idea how to get ahold of you. I looked you up, but can't find you... so when I went into my history, I was able to track backwards. So here I am. :P LOL. I just want to know if you got my package this past week? I did not check tracking yet. Thanks, LL

Hello, I have 18 new unused boxes of Hollister 14908 Skin Barrier Floating Flange tapes and 9 Hollister 18003 new unused boxes of drainable pouches. My mother passed away a few months ago, and I am still trying to handle all of her financial affairs. As much as I would like to donate these supplies to someone that can use them, I am in desperate need to raise enough money to settle these issues I am having with her financial affairs. Please email me at V4DENTATAS@gmail.com if you are interested. Thank you, Jennifer.
