| Comment or story: |
My Mom (at almost 90 years old), had her colon removed. Dr. Glass
determined it would not "reattach" properly, during a minor invasive surgery
for bleeding from diverticulitis.
This has caused Mom to live in a nursing home, because her 90 year old
husband cannot handle (understandably) the day to day work of attending to
her bag. She was only allowed a min. of visits from nurses, and attendants,
with Medicare.
Our dilemma right now, is allowing her visit her home, restaurants, &
relatives, without the horrid "leaking", or "bursting" bag, which she has
had occur multiple times. Also, her husband ascertained that not having
elastic banded slacks resting on her bag, helped the control of
leaks/bursts.
We have not heard anything from The Indianapolis. Chapter of your
organization, thus I am writing to you folks, and I'm happy to be a member
of an active, and obviously caring group! |
