Good presentation. Thank you. Unless you have experienced an ostomy first hand, you do not get it. I am a retired RN, and as an ostomy patient still have a learning curve. Though good practitioners at other things, neither the surgeon, GI physician or wound care nurse were helpful enough with the ostomy and management after the initial advice. Living with it and balancing things like hydration, nutrition, wound care, hernia's, activity tolerance and product usage are a specialty. There are not many who can be of assistance, and I appreciate Amalia's contribution to the learning.
