How to empty an ostomy appliance
October 15, 2008All that waste that your body generates has to go somewhere, and I do mean it’s a lot of waste. Way more than you’ve ever produced before, by volume. Fortunately, emptying the appliances is one of the easiest aspects of managing it.
I’d like to thank everybody, too, for making this site such a success. The handful of videos I’ve uploaded have been viewed collectively over 750 times, and the site itself has been visited over 250 times. Many people have already talked to me about their colitis and their plans for surgery or further treatment, and that’s fantastic. The site’s only been here half a month! Imagine where it’s going to be at the end of the month!
If you have colitis or know anybody who does, pass on the word about this site for me, will you? Thanks!
Keep fighting,
-Dennis
