months, it was hectic. i don't know how to put it on. i don't want to see even the wound. i didn't even want to look at myself and see where the wound is. and i had nobody to open to, apart from my last—born daughter. she's very courageous. so, she's the one who could come and put the stoma at the wound. but when she went back to the college, i really had it rough. i could use even four stomas. that costed me almost 4,000 every day. the high cost of the bags is also a hurdle for the women, many spending up to 1,000 shillings on a single bag. that's the equivalent of about £5. the average salary for an educated person in kenya is 25,000 shillings per month, meaning the entire salary could be spent on bags — if you can find them. we will learn about colostomy. translates

could be spent on bags — if you can find them. we will learn about colostomy. translates we will learn about skin. translates gill made her first trip to the hospital in 2022, so some of the faces are familiar to her — like mary, who has a urostomy, which diverts urine out through a stoma on the abdomen. previously, mary was just wearing bits of cloth or whatever on her stoma to try and absorb... and it's a constant source of urine that's coming out. i mean, it's even worse than being incontinent in your underwear because at least, you can kind of put pads in that might be held there. mary, actually, she lives very far away from here. she had run out of supplies and she was wearing a sort of a seal on a tatty old string with a plastic bag attached, just a normal plastic bag. and that was her stoma bag. we've given her quite a few
