I work at Wilko. One day I was on the shop floor and my stoma let out an almighty fart. There was a customer standing nearby. Instead of looking round quickly to see who was responsible, she just slowly turned her head and looked at me with utter disgust.. I still see her now and wonder if she remembers
I was sitting having breakfast with my daughters and their partners when my stoma let out a huge fart while everyone was mid bacon buttie. I just said oops, that was me, but I have no control!
Nope! I’ve had my bag burst on the transfer bus to my hotel from the airport in Majorca. Oh, that was bad! Walked through an airport covered in poo on the way to my plane...l’ve had a lot of embarrassing public moments, but if I didn’t try to rise above it I wouldn't get anything done!
My sister was working in a local pub and I’d gone round there with a boyfriend and we planned to all walk home together.I was sitting at the bar when I wet myself.I only had a jacket but my sister was quick thinking and gave me her coat.She wore my jacket and as soon as I got home I went straight to the shower.Love Jane x
Hi,There is no need to be embarrrassed.I wasn’t thinking logically when I posted that the thread is about stomas.My brain is scrambled since mum died 3 weeks ago.I was very relieved to get rid of my bladder.My stoma has been life saving as I didn’t have a good prognosis.It’s wonderful to be free of bladder pain.Love and best wishes Jane x
