Usually, when my bag leaks unexpectedly, I get extremely anxious.
Well, it happened today, my son in law was here. I was helping him do something and all of a sudden I felt it run down my leg. Without panicking, I told him, hold on a sec, and I went in and got a hand towel and just stuck it in there until I could finish helping him.
I then went in & proceeded to change my bag. Changed the mucas fistula bag as well cause that had been on for a week. I also needed to change my wound dressing when that happens cause it leaks into my wound.
Guess I'm proud at the fact that I handled the whole situation calmly and just did what needed to be done.
The bag was on since Thurs anyway. I was going to change it this morning but went on an eating binge instead. Had a bowl of cereal, a bagle w/cream cheese, some fresh pineapple, french vanilla ice cream w/fresh strawberries & whipped cream, some more fresh pineple, crackers. Was probably all the fresh fruit that did me in.
Anyway, I attribute this forum to helping me get thru this leak today.
Thanks guys. You're awesome!
