My yoga buddy. Definitely not downward-facing-dog! We had another visit from the ostomy nurse today because DH is having a problem with urine leaking around the wafer and we haven't been able to correct it on our own. She had him sit up, observed his stoma and was able to see how it is recessed enough to create the leaking problem. To correct this she molded a barrier piece that is sticky on both sides and created a wedge to sort of lift his stoma up a little so that the urine goes directly into the pouch instead of dribbling behind the back of the wafer - when that happens the urine eats away the adhesive and the whole appliance fails. Hopefully this corrects the problem. We want to have discussions again that aren't centered on whether or not his appliance is leaking.

DD has a studio apartment and her 13-year old is living with her so the only grandson living with us is her 17-soon-to-be-18 year old; because of his age he's not allowed to stay with her. The 13 year old was a little reluctant to leave us but also looked forward to being with his mother though he still has some concerns about her staying sober. He took a long time to say goodby to all of us but they are not that far away and he's already been over here almost every day. In order to keep her subsidized apartment she is required to attend NA meetings during the week and isn't allowed to leave him alone so he comes here. And he loves to wash my car - how good is that? ;-)
