  • Yes I did I was getting a bit upset yesterday shouldn't have posted again sorry 

  • Oh  i didn’t mean to upset you at all, and I’m so sorry if I have-of course you must post whenever you need or want to with no need to apologise at all. This is a very difficult situation for your son and distressing for you and it’s no wonder you have bad days. 

    I think it’s just difficult for anyone to give a definite answer, as it’s not the same for everyone but I can understand the longer it goes on, the more upsetting it must be.

    Has he managed to get some suitable underwear rather than pads which might be better? Is he moving around a bit more now? Has he had any extra advice from the stoma nurse? 

    Hang in there Rosie and keep posting whenever you need to.
