Monday

I was hoping for a visit from the nurse today, but after not hearing from her by 11AM, I made a call.  Talking with her we arranged for her to come tomorrow morning and to bring some backup supplies, which along with the Amazon order I expect tomorrow should alleviate that stress.

I noticed the adhesive bubbling last night before bed on the opposite side where I had failures before.  Having tried with no success to use various types of medical tape before, I was not too hopeful, but recalled that in the last partial order there were some strips included that were actually intended for this purpose.  They provide a more elastic material that can stretch a bit and return to shape without separating.  I used some q-tips to make sure the area under the lifting was clean then affixed one of these devices to secure it all in place.  After a full day with this accommodation, it is still attached and no leaks detected.  I did notice during that action that my manly belly hairs are growing back and could be the cause of that failure.  When I change my apparatus next, I will make sure to take time to shave it bare before placing the barrier.

Otherwise I spent the day working from home, then chilled with my brother and his wife.
