spare supplies Id be happy to help you out in anyway shape or form
that I can?? Please let me know I can get them out immediatly...I
cannot believe they couldn't help you like that, that blows my
mind...

Please let me know I can get something out ASAP like tomorrow, what
size do you usually wear??? other thing you may wanna do is call
hollister or convatec, which ever you use tell them of your dilemma

should not be wearing duct tape it'll damage your skin and you'll
end up in a mess...Please let me know my email address is
