Aside the fact I dont like my bag, after three years of having it dealt with pretty well. I had figured out how to make a wafer last for a week and a half with no leaks. And when it itched, I figured out how to minimise it. .....and then somehow I got a small pressure ulcer. 05/03/15 About the size of half my pinky nail. And it has gotten to be the size of my stoma ( quarter size) in three weeks. And it is right next to my stoma. UGH!!!! it hurts like hell and I go thru wafers like one every two and a half to three days. Tomorrow I have been refered to a wound care DR by PCP. so we will see. As of right now I have to put butt past and/or this other prescribed cream silver something. And I have to use a brava protective sheet under my wafer. (Warning if you dont have adhesive remover,) use coconut oil. Well thats all I have for now.except this freaking SUX!!! THANK YOU for read my complaint. If you have any question....post them. Never wrote a blog before, so I dont know if I did it right or not or if it made any sence.
