I had a urostomy operation about 3 years ago, It went well. I had some small leaks a few times. I have a little zippered pouch with 2 changes of my apparatus. It never leaves my pickup. The pharmacy had messed up on one of my orders. I have 4 full boxes...5 units per box...plus 4 extra units...of the concave wafers. I never noticed the wafers were concave until I opened one box. So I threw the one unit I took out of the envelope away. My stoma protrudes above my skin. I have 3-one piece wafer/pouch units, and two tubes of Adapt Paste, unopened. I changed to the Barrier Adapt Ceraring I would recommend the Ceraring to everyone. Is there is a place I can send unused / un-needed supplies, where they would get handed out to someone? I would appreciate any info you might have as to what I can do with my extra items. I have enjoyed your postings of other people and their experiences. I never dreamed some procedures could be so troublesome. Thanks
