I had to have a urostomy (ileo conduit) and had my bladder removed 37 years ago.  Last year I suddenly developed an allergy to glue on ostomy appliances.  I now have to tape a pad on my belly aboout every other month for 2 weeks and wear a bag for only 6 weeks out of 8.  Having any ostomy is NOT a convenience.   Bill Leesburg, FL C-6 Incomplete since 7/20/68 AOL/AIM ID: MikeyBird3 Stupidity is NOT a handicap!  Park elsewhere!
