Add me to the klutzy crowd list. Always have at least one bruised area I can't explain. And drop and/or spill, I'm with ya on that. In LTC we would add a couple drops of baby oil inside the colostomy bag and make sure it coated the inside, then BM could be emptied easily. Don't know if your facility would allow but it is a thought.

Hey, if I don't have a new 'ding' or bruise somewhere on my body at the end of a shift, I haven't worked hard enough!
I am also very uncoordinated and klutzy. I've tripped over catheters, dumped trays, knocked over flower arrangements and full urinals, fallen over floor mats......yep, just call me Grace. LOL
