Hi all, I have trouble sleeping at night especially if I'm hot. This summer was brutal but I learned how to use ice packs, a fan, and a spray bottle to cool off. Now it's wood stove season up north and I need to be careful it doesn't get to hot because of that.
My dilemma with sleeping, is waking up to straight cath. At first I used to have someone come in every three hours to wake me up, set me up, and turn me. When I still had my wife, she would help me with a condom cath to prevent accidents. Then I started to get lazy and was losing control during the day. After awhile I had less problems and would set an alarm, but I was frustrated because I couldn't sleep more than three hours at a time and I would have trouble getting back to sleep. This time when I started to have trouble,( I don't ask my caregiver to come in in the middle of the nigh) I told my doctor that I'm not able to put on the condom cath myself, and it is important to straight cath in between. Now I wear attends, and I'm starting to get lazy again and losing control. I obsess about it every night, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better, and it keeps me up in between up to five caths a night and I still have trouble. Any suggestions, anyone........... Greatly appreciate JT C6 incomplete 1+ year post
