Update on living with a urostomy

I used a leg bag on my trip to NY.  It really worked out well.  I actually didn't even think about it until it got full. When it did get really full it felt like a little kid was hanging on my leg.......LOL!  I could go about 4 to 5 hours without having to empty it.  We saw the play "Wicked". It was great.  I was relieved not to have to get up during the play.  I wore jeans and a lot of different pants.  I didn't feel like I could wear shorts.  I will not be able to wear shorts with the leg bag.  I haven't tried cropped pants yet.  That will have to be another post.  

I also bought a bag cover and a leg bag holder.  If you want to wear the leg bag then I highly recommend that you buy a leg bag holder. It makes a HUGE difference.  I also love having a bag cover   and it helps with the scratchiness of the spout and spout plug.  


I will answer any question you may have about the urostomy.  I am so glad that I went through with the surgery!! Have a positive outlook and it will also make a HUGE difference!! 

I love you family and friends!  Have a wonderful week!!
