The past couple days have been real snowy here. We didn't get the amounts that were first predicted but I'd say all together there is a foot of it out there now. It was from that bad storm that went through lots of the states. The sun is shining out there right now but it's cold. Only in the teens.
I haven't been sleeping well at all since that lady moved in upstairs over me. She is up almost every hour to go to the bathroom and when she flushes the toilet it makes an awful rumbling noise down my bedroom wall. It's always been real noisy when the upstairs people flush their toilets. There is absolutely no insulation between the walls or ceilings in this building. I was so tired yesterday that I wasn't feeling well. I was awake from that noise at 12:30, 1:30, 3:30, 4:30 and 5:30. I got so mad because I wasn't getting any sleep so I turned my radio on to try and drown out her noise at 5:30. Never could fall back to sleep and I am up at 7:00 or 7:30 every morning anyway.
I was expecting not to get any sleep again last night but for some reason she didn't get up all night till 6:00 am. So I got to sleep more. Maybe she's been sick. I don't know. Have never talked to her or seen her yet. But when she never got up all night I was thinking maybe she died or something. Wouldn't want that happening so it was good to hear her get up this morning.
I'm having problems with irritation again around my Stoma. I had to change it again yesterday and it was bleeding in spots. Now I have put the Convatec flange back on. I still don't like the bags that come with the Coloplast Flanges. Guess it's back to experimenting. The Coloplast Flange is easier to get off my belly though. Doesn't pull the skin as much.
Now this morning I can feel the stinging again and know that I will have to take this one off sooner also. Don't know what to do about that. Guess I should call the doctor's office in Oneida to see if there might be something else I'm missing but I have researched all of this and there doesn't seem to be any other choices. No one makes real deep convex flanges like I think I need. Other than having surgery again to pull that Stoma out further I can't think of anything I can do. I'd hate to go through another surgery. It wouldn't take long and probably wouldn't be too much pain involved since I didn't have too much in that spot anyway.
I'm not going to think about that stuff right now.
I plan on getting out to the stores tomorrow. It will be sunny and about 25 degrees. More snow coming in on Saturday so I have to do everything tomorrow.
That's all for now.
