Last week my husband and I took a two hour trip to Mobile to visit his doctor. We go quite frequently and I always take my emergency bag but have never actually had to use it until last week. While sitting in the waiting room I felt that familiar urgent itch. PANIC. I took the bag into the small ladies room wondering all the while –can I do this? Because there were several other ladies waiting in there I was especially nervous. It was a nightmare! I had wipes, bag, flange and one eakin seal on the floor while I was crying –I’ll be out in just a minute. After what seemed like eternity, I emerged with a pile of yuck. Thankfully, everyone had given up and left the restroom leaving me alone. So I could throw all of the yuck in the garbage without being seen. I really felt proud of myself though and went back to the waiting room to wait for my husband. When he came out I jumped up and felt wet again. In my haste I hadn’t snapped the flange on correctly! Back in the restroom again. This time I just had to change the bag and throw away my underclothes. The moral of the story is- be prepared. Hopefully, I will not have another episode in the near future, but I am putting a garbage bag and another set of underclothes in my emergency bag from now on.
