Emergency Preparedness for Urostomates

Emergencies rarely give us time to prepare. Whether it's a wildfire, hurricane, flood, unexpected hospitalization, or another life event, having a plan can make an already stressful situation a little less overwhelming.

In this resource, I share practical tips for creating an emergency kit specifically for urostomates, what supplies to keep on hand, and how a little preparation today can bring peace of mind tomorrow.

I've also created a free Emergency Urostomy Checklist that you can download from my website to help you build your own emergency kit.

Because being prepared isn't about living in fear. It's about living with confidence.

This week is a little different. I wanted to share a quick update on why there isn't a full podcast episode right now. Our family has been affected by the Aspen Acres Fire in Colorado, and while we are not currently under an evacuation order, we are preparing in case conditions change. Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and your support. I'll be back behind the microphone as soon as it's safe to do so.

Returning to work after bladder removal surgery is not just about physical recovery, it is a full adjustment in energy, confidence, routine, and how you move through your day.

In this episode of the Nobody Told Me… series, I talk about what it was really like going back to work with a urostomy. From fatigue and stamina to practical challenges and emotional shifts, this is the side of recovery that does not always get discussed.

Because nobody told me this part would take this much adjustment.
