I think it is just different. But something your aides can do, mine never
did change catheters, I always had to wait for nurse. It would leak a lot. I
have more leakage problems in bed when it does not drain. We laid the bed
bag on the floor and it seems to drain better. I don't know if it might be
more self-conscious having a bad to some people. It doesn't bother me much.
I
never had a suprapubic only an indwelling. I don't know what level you are,
but it sounds like you need to have a little independence to be able to get
the internal bag they were talking about. I think it would be a pain to have
to categorize yourself myself.
You have to make sure the ostomy bag is draining to the bed bag or leg bag.
I have a bed bag on the side of my wheelchair, because that is easier for
me, not having to have the empty all the times. I used to wear leg bags. I
know guys probably always were leg bag although I have heard of a few people
as
a list that did not. I guess it is personal preference and if you have
someone to empty all the time.
I have never had any problems with sores or problems with it falling off all
the time. I used to inch wide pink tape that I get from the supplier that
really helps it stay on longer.
