    I did not change my ostomy bag early this morning; HUGE mistake!!!! My bloody bag had a blow out (adhesive gave way and shit was leaking) and I got shit everywhere!!!! First blow out with the bag and I am pissed off!!!! I will have a lot more stories like this one, I’m afraid...

    I like Fire compared to FBV ‘cos I can do that myself...

    Got my ostomy protector. Feels nice and secure. The hernia belt definitely makes coughing more comfortable. Coughing and sneezing is what makes me know I had major abdominal surgery. My only question is how to wear my ostomy bag. Two companies claim they have sold these units to hockey goalies, yet none of them are members here, it seems...

    Thanks for your kind words. This is actually rated for “extreme sports, fire fighters and police”, but I grilled the company owner about this protector (www.stomaplex.com) and he says he has a couple of goalies in this protector. I figure it like this: I don’t have to like what is going on, but I had bloody well better embrace this and figure out how to keep doing the things I love. It will still be awhile, but I will stink up the rink once again!

    Update: It looks like it may be longer with the bag than anticipated. I ordered an ostomy protector rated for hockey. It looks like if I don’t end up with my J-pouch in August, I may as well play some hockey whilst waiting. Thanks for reading and stay tuned...

    Exactly. When I was still skating out, this option was a bit tougher to do if you did not know where to look, but now there is no excuse as there are a few outlets to buy the pro stocks.

    When I was skating out, there were occasions that I could get formerly top-tier sticks at 30-50 and sometimes 75% off retail. The sticks were older (as in 2-5 years old); big whoop! Note that it was usually Warrior, Easton, or something else that was not Bauer; however- I was able to get an MX3 shaft at a very good price. I ended up rocking an NOS Easton aluminium shaft in the end, which I bought for a princely $50. But my Warrior and Easton shafts were equallyprincely in their cheapness. You have to look even when you don’t need a stick and stock up if you end up liking the stick.

    Yep- That’s what I am actually doing. I ended up grinding down those ribs a bit further before getting out the palm sander. Thanks for the suggestion.
  9. bunnyman666
    I appreciate that.

    You bring up a very good point about Vegas. This is where the men are separated from the boys.

    Half of the cowling is nearly flat from where the runner was cut off. This is a painstaking process getting the cowling nice and flat with a palm sander. The great thing is that there will still be a centre line on the cowling for reference to mount the Sprung chassis. https://imgur.com/gallery/Kop56Bw

    Cutting the blade off of an old school cowling so I will have a proper cowling on a goalie boot. This will go between the Sprung chassis and the boot. It takes a bit to get the cowling flat, but it is better to cut less than dig into the cowling. I ordered goalie wheels. I am also going to reveal a couple of twists in the cosmetics of this inline goalie skate.

    I appreciate that.

    The part of me that loves an underdog wants Vegas to win. No- they have not been an underdog for the entire Cup run, but the fact that the entire team, save for Reaves (I sure miss him from when he was a Blue) and Tatar, are cast-offs makes them an underdog. The unwritten rule about expansion teams having to suck their first year in also, for me, makes them an underdog. If I were pulling for a team in this Finals, it would be the Golden Knights. Again- I am just rooting for good hockey, and thus far, it has been good hockey.

    Actually- I have TWO more surgeries: 1) remove rectum and make pouch in August 2) stoma reversal/ pouch hook up in 3-6 months after pouch is made So, I have a bit of time to wait. I am going to skate with no hockey for awhile, it seems.
  16. bunnyman666
    The great thing about watching the Cup finals without your team in it? The ability to watch great hockey with your guts intact and all of your fingernails! I really dug last night’s game.
  17. bunnyman666
    Doing a Sprung on a goalie skate; just need smaller wheels as the gang at Sprung said it can be used on a goal skate.

    Vegas in 4, ‘cos it could happen.
  19. bunnyman666
    Thanks for the perspective. I am just wanting to be certain I do this right.

    Heh heh I can’t play the puck! When it flies harmlessly into the neutral zone, it is the fact we both clashed sticks at the same time! That is actually what I hope for when I go to the blue line to play the puck! Occasionally (and I mean very occasionally)- I get a few stick taps from that play LOL
  21. bunnyman666
    LOL My poke cheques end in one of three ways: 1) puck flies harmlessly into the neutral zone (least likely) 2) I end up on my arse from a collision 3) The attacker moves around me for an open net (2&3 most likely in a tie)
  22. bunnyman666
    Wow- anyone on your team heard of defense? You stayed pretty square to the puck. None of your D men were close to the forwards swarming you like ants on a dead animal. Not many soft goals there. I have found myself trying to be my own D-man like you when trying for the aggressie poke cheque. Yes- it’s pick up, but D needs to be played.

    If I knew that I was done at the ileostomy bag, I would just buy the $350 “law enforcement rated” ostomy guard and be done with it. If it weren’t for returning to surgery a bit later (I hope!), I would probably just start my return in a few weeks. I am an instruction follower. If the doctor told me to brush my teeth with a pink toothbrush in order to heal faster, I would. I am going by what others have advised me (and have been through major abdominal surgery) to do as far as major abdominal surgeries go for the time table. David Backes went back in a few weeks, but he is in SUPER shape and would have an abnormally brief healing time. Also- he did not end up with a bag, just some colon resectioned and reattached. I would say potential of damage for the barrier. As long as I have an ostomy, I have potential of hernia. That scares me. As far as the long time table for return goes, my aerobic system is shot. I also need to rebuild the strength to shoulder my bag. Even wheeling will be hard at first. Stamina will also be something I lack. But I am determined to return.
  24. bunnyman666
    Greetings- Has anyone here had an ileostomy? I did on May 3 after complete colon removal. Hopefully, in 2 months and 2 weeks, I will have my J-pouch reversal operation. The hope is that I will not have a bag after that time. Then a minimum of 6 weeks recovery from surgery, then the slow road to goal tending. I do not see my return to a full 1.5 hour drop-in or game happening until January, going on the slow road to recovery. If there is anyone here who has experienced anything like this, your input would be most welcome. Thanks for reading.
