ok well the stoma nurse said try stoma paste to see if that stops me leaking and it looked promising initially but as SOON as i lay down, i start leaking in the same spot... and they won't swap me to deep convex because they don't want to risk bruising or pressure injuries, so i guess i am simply just gonna have to be changing 4x a week instead of 2x a week now
which is a lot to add to my routine and i'll have to keep a closer eye on my skin and my supply usage because the amount i got this month was for changing 2x a week, so i'll probably run out of at least barrier rings and barrier spray... i can go without the rings at least without big issues (and i might see if i can sample some others because i've only used eakin and dansac ones), but the barrier spray is a problem because it's on bimonthly dispensing. i do have a spare that's just gone out of date though so maybe that's fine? it probably is tbqh
i am just grateful i leak under the adhesive and that the sensura mio soaks it up and i don't get blowouts because this way it's manageable especially if i'm just changing more frequently, and it's only minor leakage really
#cat meows#there's always the option of redoing my stoma but i don't want to#and there's no guarantee a new stoma won't be the same or worse#and i have generally well behaved and nicely placed and sized stoma#so if it's not a big big issue it will stay like this tyvm
