April 9, 2012-Cooler Weather Here

After having a few very nice days it's back to cloudy, damp and gloomy weather today. Much cooler also. Only in the low 40's today.
I got my Ostomy samples in the mail so I will be trying those out tonight. I put one of my old samples from NUHope on the other day and it's been staying on but I really don't like the bag. I don't like emptying a bag and cleaning it. I am so used to the closed end ones now. I also got out some samples I forgot about, from Convatec, that I will try also. The trouble is I probably won't be able to get any till my prescription runs out. Medicare has already paid for a month's supply. I'll see what happens as I go along. The itching is still there but not as bad. Odd thing though. The opposite side of my belly started itching today and that was driving me crazy. I've tried baking soda paste and With Hazel. I think the Witch Hazel works a little better. I haven't gotten out to pick up anything else yet. Maybe I should get some antihistamine also. I better be careful though. I think I was allergic to that stuff when I was in the hospital. I broke out terrible from it.
I am going to try and get out sometime this week. Maybe Wednesday. I have to watch Jessi tomorrow so won't be going on Tuesday. All depends on the weather also.
My knee is bothering me today. Just from taking my garbage down tot he trash room and going out to my trunk to get something last night.
The lump in my side is bothering me a bit more also. But that comes and goes. I can handle that.
Well. Guess I'll get off this computer for now. I've been trying to catch up on things.
Take care everyone.

Hi Ginny,

So sorry to hear that your knee has been bothering you. I do hope you will feel better soon. Your blogs are fantastic!

So sorry you're having trouble with the bags Ginny. Only last week I was thinking that they must be less troublesome now as you hadn't mentioned them for some time. I don't think some people realise how awful intense itching can be! Having suffered badly with allergies all my life I know just how debilitating it can be!!! Antihistamines make me drowsy and the ones that don't just make me feel really odd so I have to put up with drowsy!

Hope you have fun with Jessi. Take care...BIG HUGS :-)
