Mini achievement (and subsequent naming)
Hello all and I hope you’re having a good Sunday 😊
I had a mini achievement today, so I just wanted to share with people who understand.
I’m almost 7 weeks post-op from an emergency Hartmann’s procedure following perforation of a diverticulitis that I didn’t even know I had.
Today I decided to be brave and have my first bagless shower. I’ve previously been worried about output while I’m in the shower so have always chickened out and showered with a bag on.
I’m happy to say it all went smoothly and I got to have a lovely shower, wash my hair and get dried off 😊
However, just as I was putting my bag on, my stoma started to output and as such, will henceforth be known as dickhead 🙄
I had been mulling over the decision to name my stoma and it looks like I’ve now decided 😂
