My First Blowout!

Well, it was bound to happen eventually. I have had an ileostomy for 4 years and got my first blowout at 3:30 am this morning! I rolled over in bed, felt something wet, turned on the light, and there it was... poo all over me and the bed!

My husband was sound asleep, and I was so embarrassed, because I knew I was going to have to wake him up to change the sheets. But, first I had to take a shower and put on a new wafer and pouch. By the time I had finished, the dogs had woken him up, because they thought this was the best thing EVER... mommy smelled like poo!!

He got up to take the dogs out, saw that I had taken a shower, and asked if everything was okay. I told him that I had a blowout, to which he said, very casually, "Aww, that's okay, s#*t happens." I just busted out laughing!!

He wasn't phased in the least, and that's just one of the many reasons why I love him! It's amazing how that phrase has a whole new meaning to me now.

Hope you all have a great day!

LOL!!!! you DH is hilarious!!! And you got out of taking the dogs out too!

I've never had one like THAT!!! All you can do is clean up and laugh:)

Of course, it takes a while to find the laughter, though!!!

I hope your day is off to a better start<3

     LOL....your hubby sounds just like mine.  Bill (my hubby) has taken it upon himself to do the ordering of all my ostomy supplies.  I told him I could do that but I guess he feels that he is contributing..lololol.  He also insists on changing my bag.  He has me lie down flat on my back...1, 2 and 3 and it is done.  I have to stand in front of the mirror to do it if I do  it myself.

     My first  (and only so far)blow out happened during a Comedy Club performance at the Borgata casino in AC NJ.  I didn't even KNOW that it happened.  I checked my bag about an hour before the show and I was fine.  However,  I did eat a large meal and guess I didn't drink enough, so it was kinda thick.  Good thing I went directly to the ladies room after the show because the sides on my bag had split open and poo was coming out all over the place.  Good thing I had on black slacks!   Although it hadn't penetrated my slacks just yet but it did my undies.  UGH, what a mess.  I just cleaned up the best I could, stuffed the bag with toilet tissue and told hubby we had better leave.  Not a good thing to leave my emergency ostomy supplies in the glove compartment of the car either.   It was only a 20 min drive to where we had our RV.  Another good thing....I had eaten quite a few wintergreen mints prior to the show and that is what the poo smelled like...nice and minty...hehehehe.

  Cecelia,  I tried to respond about 8:00AM, but I could not write.  Now I can!!!You have outpaced Summerstorm and me on most  humorous. Elevated your husband to a starring  role.Made the dogs happy.  Had the most thorrifying experience.

To you goes the crown of the Queen of the ostomy forum.  We love you in spite of it all

That is funny flchurchlady....good hubby's like that are hard to find...mine is a bit like that but unfortunately he has been baptized more that one time in four years, I'm impressed!!!  I've had my ileo since June 2009 and in the past week I've had a blow out around 2ish every night...I have some skin ulcer issues and yes S*&t happens here but too often.....

two beers gives me gas, 4 or 5 seems to cure the gas, but upsets my wife.

That's too funny!!
