Having backup supplies in the car saved my tail tonight

[Shamrock4806]

I go running off fast to take a 8 hour trip to get some important mail that I needed to respond to quickly, plus it's a debt issue and I ensured everyone was paid so I don't know where this came from.

They sent me the 5 day letter which didn't have much detail but I talked to them and got an idea of the time period, I was completely covered by Medicaid at the time.

So anyway I'm in my hotel room and I definitely needed to do a bag change because I could feel the itching starting but after reviewing supplies OH NO! No barrier strips! I need them to keep the bag glued securely to my adobemen.

So now I'm thinking, should I go to my hospital and beg for four of them and a room I can take a shower and change the bag for a few hours?

Nah, too risky they woukd say no or charge me, then I thought about driving 6 hours through the night after already driving 8 hours today, but at least I would be in 6 hours of pain instead of much more.

Then I remembered I might have backup supplies in the car and sure enough there was a nice new box of barrier strips calling out to me.


I almost cried I was so happy.

So now I rest with a good meal, a hot shower and a fresh bag all ready to sleep and start my journey home tomorrow all fresh and clean.

Think ahead folks, think ahead!
