You’re right Susan. I guess I was acting kind of greedy wanting more. I’m certainly better off than I was.
Thanks for putting things into perspective.

@pidge32 oh, I get it! I thought I was going to get 7 days wear time with a permanent ostomy (I had 3 days with a loop ileostomy). Hah! I was disappointed to get "only" 4. But in reality, at about 4 days the bag covering is getting a little grungy, the edges of the wafer are all little gummy... So a fresh appliance feels pretty good.

As long as your skin is doing okay, you are doing great!
