Not too many places I can tell this story, but this is one of them. I had an appointment with my surgeon yesterday, and he prefers I wear a two-piece so he can look at the stoma without requiring a wafer change. So I did, and he had me on the exam table and had me remove the pouch. He held onto the pouch, examined the stoma, then started talking about how clever my underwear was since it has the pocket sewn onto it for the pouch to sit in.
Well, that must have distracted my surgeon because he lost his grip on the pouch and dropped it, resulting in the spillage of its very liquidy contents all over the exam table and the floor!!! He started flipping out apologizing. But it managed to miss me entirely so I found the whole thing kind of humorous. This is the man whose steady hands I have relied on for multiple surgeries and he dropped a big bag of poop. Luckily I had a spare pouch with me, and he took care of the Cleanup on Aisle 7.
