December 12, 2010-Darn Bag Still Leaking

I can't believe this wafer that the bag clicks on to leaks yet. I put a new one on this morning and it leaked through. But I now know what the problem is. I have an open wound underneath the wafer where one of the stitches was and it hasn't healed yet so I put a band aid over it to protect it from the sticky wafer. But then the wafer won't stick to the band aid. So now I have to put the wafer on and let it stick to my open wound and when I go to pull it off it will be pulling that open again as well. It was a bad place for them to cut me, knowing that was where the wafer would have to be stuck to me.. As of now I have no leakage. The area around my Stoma is real red from changing the wafers so often. It sticks so hard that it almost pulls my skin off with it when I take it off. Yikes! Hopefully someday soon I will have all that under control.
I've had another good day. Had lots of energy! I guess my Anemia is getting better and back under control. Sure am glad of that! I changed my bedding this afternoon and am just finishing up four loads of laundry. I feel so much better when my laundry is all done.
It was a gloomy, wet day. Now it will be getting colder and turning to snow for the next week. Hope we don't get dumped on like they got out West.
I've been awake since 5:30 this morning so I will be going to bed soon.
Still have not spotted any of the foxes. They didn't touch the food I put out last night.
I'm going to do some baking this year. Going to make a couple Pumpkin Rolls and make a big batch of my Spinach balls. Just to have something in the house if company comes for Christmas time. I haven't bought shrimp in ages but did get some and some cheese and crackers also. I'm going to pig out on anything I want this year! If I drank I'd get myself a bottle of dry Red Wine but I don't drink and don't want to. I have to be careful of my liver now. I haven't drank since 1996 and I don't miss it. I would rather drink a cup of green tea!! Love my tea!
So it was another good day and now I'm going to go and relax a bit before going to bed. I'll be back soon, God willing.
