The CDC has advised that once you are fully vaccinated you can gather indoors with other fully vaccinated people without wearing a mask or staying 6 feet apart. You don't have to live in an assisted living facility or retirement community to start or join a Senior Group Exercise Class. If your friends have been fully vaccinated try something different than joining a large exercise class. Create your own Micro Senior Group Exercise Class with 3-5 group members. You can take turns hosting the Micro Group Exercise Class and turn it into a social engagement that focuses on health and wellness.

Leakage of ostomy output can cause skin problems and embarrassment. Spotting signs of leakage early can help you stop a potential skin problem even before it develops. Your stoma can change in size, so you should measure it regularly to make sure your barrier opening is still the right size. If the skin around your stoma is uneven or has bulges, this is a very likely cause of leakage. Even tiny creases can cause output to seep under the ostomy barrier. If the skin is moist, the leakage might have happened because the moist skin surface makes it harder for the adhesive to stick. These accessories are designed to reduce leakage and protect your skin.
