Ostomy Dream 3: Labeling My Ostomy Pouches
November 29, 2008*Real ostomy dreams before waking up with a full pouch.
**This is a bizarre one today.
I was changing my pouch one day and the stool kept coming out of the bag and would not stop long enough for me to get a new pouch on my skin. I realized somehow that my stool from the future was coming out of my stoma, days and days worth from the future all at once. I put a pouch loosely over my stoma to collect the waste. When it filled up I set it aside and filled another pouch. I continued doing this because all the stool I’d ever have go through my stoma was coming out at once. (What a time-saver that would be!)
Once all the bags were full, I printed off white plastic labels for each bag. The labels had the date of when the stool was supposed to be emptied. I don’t know why I didn’t just throw all the pouches away. Instead, I planned on saving each pouch and then putting it on my barrier on the proper date, and then emptying it.
Then I woke up and had to empty my pouch.
