I Am An Ostomate...

For those of you that aren't familiar with this term, you might recognize it if you know what a colostomy bag is which is similar to what I have which is an illeostomy.

Early last year I had rushed colon surgery which left me with an ileostomy. A colostomy is for the large intestine and an ileostomy is for the small intestine. I have an ileostomy because they removed most of my large intestine.

I was told that the ostomy (general term ileostomy, colostomy etc.) was temporary, but due to complications I am going into a year of having it. The complications of having an ostomy can be rather stressful at times not to mention expensive!

I have a great wound care nurse that actually fought to get me the supplies I needed. Now, to understand this, my insurance does cover what I need, but only so much per month. When leaking issues are rampant and your quickly exhaust what supplies you have long before your next shipment... things can get expensive. Thankfully I had tax money to help then I was able to go back to work which also helped.

I was given a basic overview of ostomies while in the husband, but as time went on I realized, too late, that there was a lot more to know. I won't go into detail, but I feel like a person that has an ostomy for the first time needs to be given much more an education! Almost a year in and I realized that what I thought was a weird should strap for a travel kit was in fact an ostomy belt. I knew about ostomy belts from early on, but when looking them up they looked completely different.

Growing up my grandmother had a colostomy bag which minorly prepared me for having an ileostomy which I don't think is much different from having a colostomy. I knew about burping your bag which is a lot more convenient with the Hollister snap on kind. Originally I would hold the bottom of the bag upwards to then open it and press the gas out of the bag or if I have to I will open the bottom over a toilet and press the gas out that way. With the Hollister strapon kind all I have to do is unsnap a small portion of it and if need be press the gas out, but it usually comes out pretty well.

Not until here in the last few months have I really had an issue with skin irritation or rather erosion as what I assumed was stomach acid present in the stool would eat away at the skin around the stoma (I feel like I'll have to do another post specifically about these terms etc, but the stoma is the part of the intestine thats exposed... basically it refers to your new butthole). This can be very unpleasant, but I was given some miconazole powder (antifungal) to use any redness. In other words, use it before it gets bad. It does work.

Shortly before Thanksgiving I was admitted into the hospital due to a severe case of skin irritation possibly an infection. The doctor and nurse both said they don't if it was due to an infection or just irritation, but they put me on antibiotics anyways and it did eventually heal up. I was having issues with the wafer sticking and I was going through supplies like crazy. It was like it was right after my second surgery when I was having to change my otomy up to five times a day! Needless to say that is not supposed to be the case! I didn't want to waste anymore supplies and it was over the weekend so wound care wasn't open and my surgeon's office wasn't available. I did what I thought was the best possible thing to do with what I had on hand... tape a grocery bag to my stomach. I am a bigger person so I could tuck half of the bag under my stomach and tape the upper half to me. Just over the course of three days, most of my stomach on that side become red and weepy. The weepiness is what was causing the wafer from sticking and it just got worse... I was finally able to get to the wound care on tuesday which she urged me to go the hospital that same day which I did. They kept me over night and released me the day before thanksgiving.

There were only two things that seemed to help with the weeping issue. The wound care nurse either used a skin protective barrier which kind of reminds me duoderm or this purple stuff (Marathon brand, its cyanoacrylate, a medical adhesive) which worked wonders, but is super expensive! Later on, I learned about crusting. Technically I learned it from the wound care nurse, but I thought crusting was dependent on the purple stuff. Crusting is where we take Brava powder and sprinkle it on to the affected area. Then we take protective barrier wipes and dab the area after brushing the excess powder off. Do this two to three times and a crust will begin to form. The powder will only stick to the areas it needs to stick to and dabbing rather than wiping ensures that the powder doesn't get wiped off but coated with the barrier liquid.

Having an ostomy is no fun, but it is manageable and even more so if you actually pay attention to what should be avoided. Early on I was told to avoid certain foods such as fruits with the peel on, mushrooms, seeds etc. That these things could cause a blockage which I assumed was in reference to intestinal blockages, but after learning about pancaking, I believe that might be the reason for it. You will notice that certain foods don't get fully digested and might seem to move right through you like it wasn't even touched! Chew all you want, but sometimes food slips by. The thicker the stool, the more it might build up at the stoma site causing it to eventually push through the barrier and come out from underneath the wafer... yeah, always a pleasant experience! The problem was that this would happen with liquids too. I've learned alot since getting my ostomy back in February of last year, but I feel like there is still things to learn and improvements to be made. For example, they really need to explain pancaking and why avoiding certain foods is necessary! For the longest time I didn't know that this little pack of deodorant they gave me was actually a lubricant to help things move down into the pouch. Early on I knew that there was deodorant items I could use if need be, but nothing about it being lubricant. I can't get this through my insurance while getting other things, but using a small amount of olive oil seems to help when leaking doesn't occur. I had so much leaking issues that I would leave an ostomy on for as long as possible reaching into a two week period! I, personally, don't think I have ever had to change an ostomy because it had been 3-7 days. Its always been because I had to change it due to leakage. I would even put large sheets of tape that I had leftover from wound care (the surgery incision) on to the areas surrounding the wafer to help contain any leaks and it helped! I ran out of the tape though and started using other medical tapes. I even thought about getting some adhesive like skin-tac or mastisol to try and re-seal the areas of the wafer that came lose either on their own or due to leakage. I've had times where the wafer won't even stick!

Going back to the grocery bag incident, which I am now going through the same thing again, but this time it was due to constant leaking. Not just Hollister, but Coloplast as well. The thing is that the ileal fluid (basically intestinal juices from the small intestine) cause skin irritation, because there was nothing there preventing it from getting on my skin, I tried several different things. I didn't think to tape it up, but first off I tried applying hand lotion. Why? It has oil in it and oil and water don't mix so I figured it would create an oil slick... I don't think it worked in the long run. To help dry up the area, I tried crusting, but it wouldn't dry for some reason and the liquid would just wash the powder away anyways. I'm trying to add miconazole powder this time to help kick any fungal infection in its butt. I read on a forum that some liquid antacid that is no longer being made could be used... I don't remember the name now, but it was like mylanta. I didn't some research and saw that this particular type had two ingredients that the others didn't have both of. There was also an inactive ingredient that the other didn't have. This form made it sound like it would dry up on the skin and the generic stuff I got did, but not on the weeping skin. I was looking for something to create a barrier, to dry the area up, but what went over my head was that it was an antacid and was primarily used to soothe the pain due to ileal fluid being acidic. Mylanta etc. neutralizes acids. Another source said to use hydrocortisone cream (ointments are more oily) and let it sit there undisturbed for about ten minutes. In that time it would dry up, but like the mylanta stuff would. Didn't work. There was also hydroclloidal sheets that I didn't try. No reason other than money.

Before wrapping this all up I want to state that I got a lot of help including many supplies from my wound care nurse (all of them were great at the clinic!) and multiple free samples and help from an individual at a local pharmacy. Yes, free samples! Now, I can't promise and will not promise that your pharmacy would do the same, but I think they just took an understanding to me. Given I've been through a lot and my age might have had a role to play. People usually notice the seemingly shocking fact that someone so young had colon surgery and has an ostomy. My next post op appointment is next month, but I'm going to see if my surgeon will do the surgery sooner than later despite the risks...

Have a good day and a blessed New Year!

Pffff ok I'm glueing together corners today and that's reminded me of the Adhesive Assessment I had to do in the first year of my masters, where we had to do an extensive Tees Test of a range of glues and adhesives then identify an unknown adhesive using those test results

Except the unknown adhesive was superglue so I just sniffed it and went 'yeah that's cyanoacrylate, don't bother with the tests that's so obviously superglue, don't need a Tees Diagram for this one is blatantly superglue'

Turns out I was totally right, don't doubt my sense of smell

A Tutorial for Making Pens with Crepe Myrtle Burl Pen Blanks

Introduction

In the field of handmade workmanship, creating one-of-a-kind and personalized things is very appealing. Making your own pen with Crepe Myrtle Burl pen blanks allows you to learn about woodworking while also creating unique and visually appealing writing instruments. This guide will walk you through the steps of changing Crepe Myrtle Burl pen blanks into a beautiful and useful pen.

Understanding crepe myrtle burls:

Crepe myrtle is a gorgeous ornamental shrub with vivid blooms, but woodworkers are most interested in the burl wood. Burl wood is prized for its beautiful patterns and unique grain structures, which transform each piece into a work of art. Crepe Myrtle Burl, in particular, has a delicate texture and comes in a variety of colors, including light cream and reddish-brown.

Gathering materials:

Gather all of the supplies and tools you'll need before you start creating. You'll need Crepe Myrtle Burl pen blanks, a lathe, chisels, various grit sandpaper, a mandrel, a drill, and pen kit components such as the mechanism, clip, and nib.

Select and prepare the pen blank.

Select a Crepe Myrtle Burl pen blank that matches your aesthetic tastes. Examine the blank for flaws or inconsistencies before cutting it to the correct length for your pen with a saw. To prevent the blank from cracking while drying, seal the ends with wax.

Drying Pen Blanks:

Crepe Myrtle Burl, like most burl woods, has a high moisture content. Allow the pen blank to dry completely before attempting to use it. To adapt, keep the blank in a cool, dry place for a few weeks. Patience is essential to getting a stable and beautiful finish.

Mounting the blank on the lathe:

After the pen blank has dried sufficiently, mount it to the lathe using a spur center and a live center. Take the time to correctly position the blank to prevent wobbling and uneven rotation.

Shaping the Pen:

Turn on the lathe and form the Crepe Myrtle Burl pen blank with your preferred chisels. Allow the natural patterns of the burl to influence your design. Experiment with different cuts to bring forth the wood's distinct character. Maintain a low lathe speed for improved control.

Sand to perfection:

While shaping the pen, halt the lathe and sand the wood. Begin with coarse-grit sandpaper and work your way down to finer grits to get a smooth and polished finish. This method is required to unveil the wonderful patterns concealed behind the burl.

The Drill Pen's Components:

To drill the necessary holes in the pen blank, use a drill bit that is compatible with the pen kit components. Make sure to correctly measure and mark the locations to ensure that the pen components are aligned.

Assembly of the pen.

Now comes the interesting part: creating your Crepe Myrtle Burl pen. Insert the pen mechanism, clip, and nib, and carefully follow the instructions included with your pen. This phase brings your idea to life, changing it from a bare piece of wood into a working writing instrument.

Finishing touches:

Apply a treatment to enhance the inherent beauty of the crepe myrtle burl. To obtain a glossy appearance, many woodworkers use a clear finish, such as a high-quality wood polish or a thin layer of cyanoacrylate (CA) adhesive. Allow the finish to dry completely before handling the pen.

Admire Your Work:

Take a moment to admire your Crepe Myrtle Burl pen's craftsmanship and unique features. Each swirl and pattern in the wood tells a story, giving your products a distinct appearance.

How to Take Care of Your Crepe Myrtle Burl Pen.

To ensure the brightness and life of your pen, keep it away from direct sunlight and harsh temperatures. To keep the pen bright, polish it on a regular basis with a soft cloth. With careful care, your Crepe Myrtle Burl pen can serve as a permanent reminder of your carpentry abilities.

Conclusion

Making a pen from Crepe Myrtle Burl pen blanks is a satisfying activity that combines carpentry abilities with artistic expression. Each stage, from raw material selection to turning, sanding, and assembly, contributes to the production of a distinct and personalized writing instrument. Accept the natural beauty of Crepe Myrtle Burl and let your imagination go wild as you begin your woodworking journey.

Phase Five Masterlist

Previous Chapter // Next Chapter

xv: Kate Bishop

Cat knocked on the door, she'd changed back to her civilian looks, her curls were short again, and she was wearing her sunglasses, so Kate didn't recognize her. Clint did.

"How did you find us?"

The mutant lifted her phone, pointed at the one on the kitchen counter, signed "DUH", and walked in. Kate was extremely confused but she ignored her. Cat grabbed her earpiece and offered it to Clint, urging him to take it. Once he did Cat spoke out loud.

"Activate 'little birdy' protocol," the earpiece turned a little green light on its side, and she smiled at Clint. "You hear me?"

His eyebrows raised. "Yeah. Thank you!"

"It's not permanent, don't get used to it," she crossed her arms. "We need to talk."

Clint glanced at Kate over his shoulder. "There's no need for you to be here..."

"I know," Cat said, "but you're in big trouble."

He nodded shortly. "No kidding."

"Hey, am I freaking invisible or something?" Kate demanded. "Are you gonna tell me who the hell is she?"

Cat looked at her with a frown. "I'm Copycat."

"No, you're not, she has white hair and purple eyes!"

Cat moved her sunglasses down and held her gaze. "So?"

"Oh— Oh my God!" Kate approached her, a crimson blush adorning her cheeks. "You wear a wig when you're in costume?"

Cat looked back at Clint. "You found yourself a great ward."

"This was an accident."

"Don't worry, he used to say that about me," Cat smiled at the girl. "Nice to meet you. You're terrible at many things, but you have a sharp aim, and you're kind of funny."

Kate returned the smile. "Thank you, Miss Copycat."

Cat made a face. "How old are you?"

"Twenty-two," Kate said, still staring like she was a celebrity.

"I'm twenty-four. Don't be formal, makes you sound stupid," she decided that was the end of their conversation and turned her attention back to Clint. "So what's the problem?"

He tilted his head. "You're a fast learner, aren't you?"

Cat shrugged. "Yeah?"

He drew out his hearing aid. "You know how to fix this?"

"You can't?" She examined it.

"Drop the tone, I saw you running around a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility in a camisole when you were a kid," he said. "Yes or no?"

She chuckled. "Yes, sir."

"What do you need?"

"A quick-setting adhesive, preferably cyanoacrylate— thin pliers, and Mouse."

"You mean this?" Clint pointed at his ear.

She nodded. "Hand it back."

Clint took off the earpiece, gave her the pliers, and searched in the kitchen drawers to see if he could find glue. Cat walked up to the living room and sat down, her earpiece turned into a visor, and the young woman pushed her sunglasses to the top of her head.

Kate sat next to her, scooping closer. "You guys know each other?"

Cat glanced at the girl. "I wouldn't be here otherwise."

"I thought you were a recent addition to the team?"

She snorted. "Yeah, that's the authorized version."

"What's the real one?" Kate asked.

"Not a good idea to info dump..."

"Oh. I get it." Kate tried to look nonchalant. "Just so you know, you're asking Hawkeye for intel that he cannot give you because it's my business, so..."

"Your business?" Cat laughed dryly. "Maya's after the Ronin, not you. Who are you?"

"I'm— I'm Kate Bishop."

The mutant wrinkled her nose. "You rich?"

"I... yeah?" Kate shifted awkwardly in her seat.

The response made Cat smirk. "I've heard about you before. Well, not you, your family. A year ago..."

Kate inched closer to her. "I heard you say Tony made that thing you're wearing— you meant Stark?"

Clint placed the glue on the coffee table startling her, he talked to the younger archer. "Leave her alone, I've seen her rip a man's throat with her bare hands, you don't want to pester her."

Cat's hand twitched at the comment, Clint was joking, he didn't know she had indeed ripped a man's throat once.

"I don't mind it," she signed: "THANK YOU. REST." Before going back to work. "Heroes these days aren't talkers... maybe that's why I'm so damn depressed."

"Oh..." Kate said, unsure of whether Cat was talking to her or just thinking out loud.

Clint pointed at Kate's face chuckling. "She did it, didn't she?"

The girls looked up at him, Cat signed "WHAT?"

"That's the face everyone makes when you say some batshit thing unprompted."

Cat quickly replied: "BEEN YEARS SINCE I'VE DONE THAT. SHUT UP."

"Ohhh, those were one too many words, I didn't get that," Clint looked at Kate. "She's not crazy, never learned to filter her thoughts, that's all."

Cat lightly stabbed his leg with the pliers, he jumped away from her. The mutant went back to work feeling her cheeks burning.

"He thinks I'm still a kid," she muttered.

"So... you met years ago," Kate glanced at Clint to make sure he wasn't paying attention, he was making his way back to the kitchen. "Can I ask you something?"

"I can't promise I'll answer."

"You are an Avenger, right?"

"No. I'm helping Clint because he's got kids, I won't let another father die on my watch, that's all."

"You're talking about Stark."

"I'm talking about many people," Cat grabbed the glue. "I won't leave until this is over, let's hope we never see each other again after that."

"I wouldn't hate it if we do..." Kate sighed. "You were really cool today. The whole ass-kicking and the teleporting... How do you do it?"

She briefly pointed at her slitted, purple eyes. "I'm a mutant."

"That is so awesome."

Cat didn't know why, but she felt like she'd met Kate before, or at the very least, that she reminded her of someone. She took off M.O.U.S.E. and the visor vanished. "I'm starving, and we have to wait for this thing to dry."

"We should get food in the meantime, let me bring the dog."

Cat's pupils widened. "You have a dog?"

Kate was rambling about the fight so much that Clint turn off his hearing aid. Cat was trying to pay attention, but the dog kept growling at her, and it was making her uncomfortable. Clint finished his coffee and turned on his hearing aid.

"Was that— was that out the whole time?"

"Don't feel bad, he didn't use to listen even when his ears were healthy," Cat told her.

"Can I get more coffee, please?" Clint asked a waiter, completely ignoring them.

"Look I know this may sound weird, but I've dreamed of this for as long as I can remember. My dad was fearless... and his whole life was about helping people. When I put that suit on I thought 'This is it. This is the moment I become who I'm supposed to be'."

"...I remember the day I thought the same thing," Clint sighed.

"I don't," Cat mumbled.

"I don't think you remember what you had for dinner last night."

"Ha-ha. Seriously, I should be dreaming about it, right? I see myself in those suits and I think 'Not this again'— Maybe heroes are made, and not born."

Clint shook his head. "Kate, this whole thing... it comes with a price. The life you wanna live, to really help people— I mean, try to help people, anyway... comes with a lot of sacrifices, and some things you'll lose forever. Cat sounds like a beam of sunshine right now, but years ago she was truly something..."

"I got lonely, that's what happened," Cat interrupted him. "Was it necessary to use me as a bad example?"

"Well, if Kate wants to become what we are, she should know both sides. I might not be the luckiest man on earth but I think I've done well for the most part, and you—"

"Saved your asses from a warehouse, you're welcome."

"You're sad and alone."

"Do you want me to kill you with a butter knife?"

Clint shrugged. "See how that goes for ya."

Cat reached out to grab the utensil but Kate's hand landed on hers.

"There's also things you gain," her grey eyes stared at her, "like trick arrows and a cool costume. I love your cape, by the way. Speaking of which— I've been thinking about your branding issue..."

"Branding issue?" Cat asked in amusement.

"It's nothing—"

"Nothing! It's everything!" Kate rolled her eyes. "You need a more recognizable costume..."

She turned the paper mat and grabbed some crayons from the cup that was in the corner. She sketched her idea, Clint ran a hand over his face longing to get out of there.

"You realize that my job for the last twenty years, was to be not recognizable, right?"

"Well, you've officially failed at that."

"The first ten years were okay," Cat shrugged, "but for the last decade you've been front and center though, I agree."

"Okay! Picture this... in purple," Kate showed them her drawing.

"Oh... wow. What's that on his head?"

"It's your head," Kate corrected. "Uh— wings. Like a hawk. That's an 'H' that's on your forehead, that's for... Hawkeye."

"Why purple?" Cat questioned.

"I like purple. Why? You don't like purple?"

"Not happening," Clint stated.

"Don't know," Cat examined the drawing with interest. "That suit could make me like you more..."

"What if it was all black? All black with a mask? Maybe a hood? Oh! A cape like Cat's!"

"You're not stealing my looks! It took me years to find something!"

"Yeah, and looked at what you did," Clint scowled. "You stomped it all over."

"Look who's talking, quitter," she said in the same tone.

Clint and Cat glared at each other. Kate stared at her first, then at Clint, and decided to try him. "You can't say who Ronin is because it's someone close to you, isn't it? It's your job to keep their secret."

"There are several reasons why I'd never wear a flashy costume," he looked at her. "My job is to be, number one, a ghost. Number two, my wife would divorce me if I put something like this on, and number three, uh... I'm not a role model. I'm sorry, Kate, I'm not a role model to anyone."

"I can attest to that," Cat grumbled.

"If there's one thing I regret, heathen, was letting Tony have you running around doing whatever you pleased. Kids need to be told what to do to some extent, and we abandoned you in that tower."

Cat was about to reply but stopped, that couldn't be right, she didn't remember ever feeling lonely those days.

Kate was having none of that. "You two left your families at Christmas because you thought some stranger was gonna get hurt. You stuck around even though I screwed up, and now you're stuck. Whether you like it or not, the tracksuits have connected us to Ronin and it's pretty clear they're not just gonna drop this."

"Well, that you are not wrong about..."

"But you're wrong about me," Cat said. "I would've left both of you to die if Clint hadn't reminded me he's got children."

"You are so mean it's unfair how pretty you are," Kate frowned.

Cat pouted mockingly. "I fixed Clint's hearing aid, didn't I? I don't tell you to be quiet when you talk my ear off, but neither of you seems to care about that, do you?"

"It's just... I've had a rough couple of days... not to mention my mom might be marrying a murderer..." Kate sighed.

"Your mom what?"

The waiter brought them the check and Kate glanced at it. "I'm gonna need you to get that, my mom canceled my credit card."

Clint scoffed in disbelief. "Yeah, I got it."

"Twelve birthday parties and you never sent me a present, but you can pay for her breakfast..." Cat put the heart-shaped sunglasses back on.

"I'll give you a present when you tell me your real birthdate— and I'm paying for your breakfast too," he replied, getting up from his seat. "You're gonna have to name this dog, you know?"

Cat tried to move and the animal growled at her. She hissed back.

"Can you hold him so I can get up?"

"Er... sure, yeah," Kate put her arm around him. "Not a fan of dogs?"

"Never interacted with them," she shrugged, "cats tend to follow me though, they line up begging for my attention."

"Why's that?"

"I think it might have something to do with my Skrull genes—"

"Your what?" Kate stopped. "You're a what?"

Cat brushed it aside. "This is not your dog, then?"

"Oh, it is now. I rescued it the night I found the suit..."

"What were you doing at that auction? Do rich people get so bored they need to start doing illegal shit before their thirties?"

"I'm not like that," Kate said, walking toward the exit.

"You broke an old-as-hell tower back in your school, it sounds like you kind of are."

"You spied on me?" Kate asked in outrage.

She tapped on her earpiece. "I had to look into you to make sure you were not trying to trick the old man. You passed, so I won't kill you."

"Wow, such a relief," Kate scoffed.

"You can't say the same about your stepfather, though," she added playfully. "What's that about?"

Kate glanced at her. "You gonna tell me what your deal is too?"

Cat grinned. "I've got plenty of deals, you'll have to be more specific." They got out of the restaurant, Cat searched in the pockets of her jacket and pulled out her phone. "Put your number in."

"You wanna be careful," Clint warned the younger archer. "Heathen's an experienced flirt..."

Cat gave him a look. "I'm not flirting, don't get your baggy knickers in a bunch."

Clint laughed, but Kate mumbled looking a little hurt: "...you're not?"
