I'm sorry to keep asking a million questions, but I need all the advice I can get. Feeling much better today, I decided to walk to work (only about 2k), that, and it's an unseasonably mild 23 Celsius. For two weeks I've been sitting in bed, cabin fever is setting in, so I just had to go (Freddy, my hubby, took the car to work, we both work at the same hospital, so I decided to go pick up the car). Aside from the usual post op pain, I just took my time and made it, only having to stop once to rest. Of course, by the time I got there, I was drenched in sweat. I hopped in the car, opened the sun roof, opened the windows and went for a drive by the lake, picking Freddy up from work at 3. I get home, and suddenly feel a very bad sign, a warm, wet feeling. Sure enough, half my flange had fallen off, making a real mess! My home care nurse just put a new one on this morning, so my only conclusion is it was the sweating that caused it to come undone. BUT, if that's the case, I'm screwed! Most of you know my passion is cycling, I'll go for over 50K, sweating constantly (have to drink at least 4 litres of water to re-hydrate), but if the damn thing is going to fall off every time I sweat, how will I ever be able to peruse my passion? Please tell me there is something I can do to stop my flange from peeling off when I sweat, there must be something I can do, I definitely don't want to give up cycling, it's one of the few things in life that bring me pure joy. Please, if there is anything you've done to solve this, let me know, this disease as taken enough from me, I'll be damned if I let it stop me from cycling too, thanks,
Eric
