If you ever need an absorbent pad I can recommend Tena Lady folded in three. It's worked better than anything from the nurse. I slept right through with no pad leakage even though it was full. Amazing! My stents came out on their own earlier when I changed my bag. I have hospital tomorrow to have the staples out and meet with the nurses. We will be ordering my bags and stuff and I hope to get this leak sorted. Bowels moving still. It does hurt when it moves about but only like bad wind, painful but short bursts.
