She is likely wearing them bc as she sleeps and turns at night she wants to prevent any leakage from her stoma bag. She had told us before that this has happened to her before when turning at night. The fluid that comes out of an ileostomy is very runny. It doesn’t process through the lower colon that removes excess water like it would if she had a colostomy. So leakages would be more common especially when you eat indiscriminately and don’t follow a diet that is more suitable for ileostomy drainage. They have recommended diets but ofc our girl isn’t following any of that. She must have had some awful experiences in that bed with Judith ( tiny blue balls and worse)and is petrified of having that happen again. This is why her “stoma supplies” take up a full long drawer and require a huge SUV. She must change the bag several times a day too. Most people do not as they moderate their intake. Sorry for the detail. Especially the part about bad experiences with Judith and TT in bed. You cannot un see that!@PW212 suggested she is wearing something like that too. A padded support for the back bum bum seems feasible. Or would Tiffany have incontinence issues? She said her peeing was fine post-surgery.
This reminds me of Eugenia Cooney's diaper gate.
