<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/W2OL-FRRDF0&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/W2OL-FRRDF0&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

we found it in the house the other day amidst some junk.

NO IDEA what it is so i took this video hoping someone can figure it out.

The white part is a weird plastic mesh, and the beige part is hollow like something goes inside it. The hole you see goes right into the inside of the beige part. Ideas?

An ice pack???

looks like a wee bag....you know an at home alternative to catheters

That happens to be an Ostomy bag, for people who have colostomys,
usually because of surgical alteration....

Good guess!

I don't think so though as it doesn't have any way to permanently close, the hole part has a hard plastic ring around it and stays open all the time.. like there is no plug or cover for it.

yes wee bag is another way of putting it to, or Illiostomy...

AHA!
Thats EXACTLY what it is. Must have come from the hospital when I had the baby somehow.

HAHA. Hilarious.



I've been posting this video and showing everyone. I wonder what people will think happened to me while in the hospital once they figure it out?

"Must have been a really rough birth"

:P

Hurray for PC!

The opening is where the wafer fits into the hole and then over
what they Call the "Stoma"....my mom has had one for over 25 years do to rectal cancer....

ziggy I am so sorry to hear.

I hope you don't think I was making light of people who need them or anything. I honestly couldn't figure out what it was.

I was going to say an old fashioned home hair dryer hood, LOL. Can you tell I was around in the 50's and 60's?

NO problem...you just wanted to know what it was, no offense taken....my mom had cancer when I was 15 (breast removed)...then
6 years later Rectal cancer....she is now 82....She's like a walking living miracle...But don't worry, I know you weren't
making light of the situation.....

I'm glad i was able to help you out...

(((ziggy and ziggys mom))))

""smacks upside head""

My husband just had his bag removed and colon reconnected in July. And I thought it was an ice pack...am I allowed to giggle quietly at myself..

Yes DEE, he's lucky his was reversable. My best to you and him.

Some aren't as fortunate. Sometimes you have to giggle just a

little. Surgery like that can be serious, but keeping it a little

on the lite side helps too. Sometimes laughter is the best

medicine. ((((Dee & Hubby)))

Yes, he was very lucky. Considering a diagnosis of Stage IV colon cancer had metastacized to his liver and lungs. Just 6 months of chemo, reversal of colostomy, and he's been back to work for 6 months.

Thanks Ziggy1 for your kind thoughts, you are a great person!

Wow...my prayers are with you and him...my mom had a tiny spot
removed from her liver during her surgery the Doctor removed it
as a pre-caution.

Her mastectomy was done when I was 15, She was lucky to survive back then in the 70's. I thought I was going to loose her.

Then her 2nd surgery was done 6 years later. She never had chemo
or radiation though...they must have had it back then? But she
never received treatment???

I was gonna say a hair dryer, too, but the opening for the head isn't big enough.
