Just over four weeks since my operation, a trip to the hospital for a stoma nurse appointment today. First time I've been away from home. I took everything with me, including a change of clothes, but none was needed. I forgot to empty after the first bus so I was pretty full after the second bus. Luckily I hadn't overfilled so it was ok. The nurse was very pleased with me and I don't have to go back for two months. She has ordered me a support belt too. I was happy to accomplish the trip with no probs.
