@thecomplexchronicles: This is very accurate, I remember the stoma nurse was by my bedside and she was telling me what I needed to do but I was sooo confused on how was I meant to do it? When you’re in hospital, the Stoma Nurse will not let you be discharged until you are stoma competent. I still struggle with the bag changes.. more emotionally and mentally than the physical bag change but I know eventually it will just become second nature. #stoma #ileostomy #recovery #spoonie #foryoupage
Nervous for this! I haven’t had a solo bag change yet, I’ve always done them with my nurse but I am still only 1 month post op

oh my goodness though, I spent a good few days doing it with the stoma nurse in the hospital. we decided I was competent, to empty and change it. went home, oh my goodness me did I mess up that first change, panicked, cried, absolute nightmare. 3.5 years on I can change a bag, that's leaked, crouching down at the back of a cinema, with my phone torch for light😂😂

I just did my first solo change! I'm so proud of myself, I was more embarrassed about cleaning it in front of someone, even though they see this sort of stuff all the time 😅
