Gerry, yes he is depressed but says he will never take anything for it. His Mom had several mental health disorders and the treatments scared him although he realizes that for many years she was on a medicine that kept her very sane.

tkrik, thanks for your input. He is on day 2 of the convex wafer and so far it is OK. His stoma is not flush to his belly. I was wishing it would be but it looks pretty much what it looked like at time of surgery. Also the size is 1 1/4 inch and she has a 1 1/2 convex bag on him. She says it is because when he stands up, it all changes shape. I sure hope she is right. We ahve one more sample from him and then asked the company to send us a sample, since her is a 2 piece and the one from the company will be a 1 piece and clear. I have problems putting the opaque one piece bags on.
