    Damn bag
    How about using a clip to secure your shirt tails. I remember when I had my ileostomy, I had forgot to velcro the bag, luckily I was home but my house slippers were a mess. My ostomy spared me from having diarrhea during chemo. After I had my reversal though things were very rough. Still have frequency issues, reversal was Dec 21. 2007. Cancer free 3 years.

    Kerry........Ya have to laugh to keep from crying but.....
    next supply order try some disposable bags instead of the reusable....The one shot bag sure is a lot easier to deal with...but with an illeo, im not sure, I have an colonostomy. Although I still think it may be easier......anywho...on with the show buddy....hope your doing well.....Buzz

    Kerry
    I,like buzz, have a colonostomy so I donn't know if this will work for you but I use a small bucket(one like butter come in) and place it in the sink. Then drain bag into bucket, empty into toliet, clean bucket and hide under sink until next use. Don't know if this helps but just wanted to throw it out there. Thanks for your story - brought a smile......I know this won't work in a public place but works well at home for me....Mike

    When I was still relatively bed-ridden, my girlfriend was clean
    My GF was cleaning the area around stoma as a solid particle started to emerge from the top of stoma. Must have been some gas shooting out right behind it as the jelly-bean shaped stool became a projectile and bounced off her chin.....Good thing her mouth was closed!!!!!steve

    Oh My Goodness
    You better keep that woman if she sticked around after that surprise :) Now it seems funny, but I know at the time it wasn't. My husband has been there for some pretty messes too, but not in the face. Gotta love those caregivers.

    I just read that one side effects of tagamet is breast development in men. So if Kerry decides to give tagamet a try I'm going to be watching for a solution to holding up his shirt with the home made man bra that his talented wife can craft for him! I know ... warped sense of humor I have!

    Maybe
    Lori, you may be on to something there...instead of a 'boulder holder' Kerry's mrs. needs to fashion a shirt-tail holder...maybe some velcro tabs on the ends that he can then fix the tails around his neck!

    Suzie is quite talented
    and I'm sure she could fashion anything up that Kerry would need.

    The only think I request are pictures. :)

    Love ya Kerry!!

    Some weeks are like that
    Kerry,

    I like to call these fun events Sh*t storms. Had 3 in the last week myself. Just laugh it off when you can and go on with life. Good thing is it all washes off.
