My husband had his surgery on the 30th April, which went very well (thank you to the multi disciplinary teams involved) and is home. It’s a painful, stressful and will be a long recovery. He has lost approximately four stone in weight but today, I feel he has turned a corner in that he has eaten porridge and soup.
There is so much I want to know to make this easier. I have a heightened sense of smell and have ordered a Tommee Tippee twist nappy wrapper today to contain the bagged waste. Please share your tips - what storage units do you use in the bathroom to store all the bags etc? Man bag for medical goods for when we can go out again (long time off, I know). I’ve bought the double pouched underpants and swim shorts. Any other good clothing tips.
Hi Allix and welcome to the group.
Wow-16+ years is amazing! I hope you’ll be able to contribute to the group with your years of experience which I’m sure would be helpful to others.

Hello Allix, thank you for your message. He has had a set back, sepsis, but came out of intensive care three days ago. He had been home for a fortnight and we don’t know how long he will be back in hospital for. A male perspective for this will be great for us - thank you.
