Yet another busy day . Taxi picked my sister and I up at 8:30 am to take us to the hospital where I had an appointment to have the stents in my stoma removed and dressing changed.
( The stents are like chords that go up the ureters to the kidneys and 30-40 cms ) I was told it wouldn't hurt and they would simply pull them out . Ok - i was sceptical . The nurse clipped the staple stitches and removed them all the while chatting in Swedish and English to my sister and me . And then suddenly I saw a wicked grin on her face as she was holding the two stents she'd whipped out while distracting me with talk LOL . Wicked lady. She was GOOD .
After that we were given a cup of tea and I also had a large glass of water to drink as the wanted to see if things were flowing properly . And then we went home
Delicious sushi in the evening .
Shared my semla with Dace for dessert
Dace skyped with hubby while I watched Emmerdale
Drama around 10,30 pm when I noticed the stoma was leaking - urine seeping out from a loose part of the bottom disc. Decided to improvise taping padding around the leaks and wait for morning .
At times like this it is great to have someone around to share the drama and prevent panic . Everything was sorted out the next day on a return visit to the hospital where I was fixed up with an alternative solution .
