Ohhhhhhhhhhh The Nurse. I thought your Mom cath'd you.... (smiling). So the nurse did the work in reinstalling your cath and filling the bulb. I've done but male and female cath changes and prefer males, as it is so much easier. With females ya need a flashlight and a road map of the female anatomy map. (females should have TATS with instructions) smiling Best Wishes In a message dated 3/11/2013 4:21:28 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
yes she is. however, before she realized just how serious it was (like I said earlier, normally urine leaks out) she told me “just don’t get it on your sheets, I hate washing sheets twice a week”)…..lol when she saw how red my face was and me holding my forehead because of the headache, she was going to try to get the sling under me and transferred to the bed, I had to insist she wasn’t doing it, I did not want her to mess up her wrist! I was giving orders for sure! She had everything out and ready for the nurse………J Oh the books we all could write! I’m sure ready for my CT scan, results, and get whatever done to fix my problem!

That deed was not easy from all sides of the issue. I'm sure you were barking out orders while she was doing her best. Men, come with instructions and a landing strip. Women sitting have a fort with bunkers all the way around. Again, not an easy task, but I'm glad everything worked out. Best Wishes In a message dated 3/11/2013 3:49:10 P.M.

My mom is 68 and recently had wrist surgery (no possible way to get me to the bed and keep me elevated because of blood pressure) so sometimes, you do what you have to and clean up later J From: [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) [_mailto:[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) ] Sent: Monday, March 11, 2013 3:36 PM To: [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] AD Nicki, I'm glad to read your story ending and hopefully the issue gets better. Remember, when changing an indwelling cath... even in an emergency...... one has to maintain a sterile or clean area to remove the old cath and allow urine to pass and then install a new sterile cath. I'm sure you will agree with that. Best Wishes Just wanted to share that if no urine is leaking out remove the catheter because it’s stopping up the body’s natural route for urine to come out! May have saved me from stroking out today!! Nicki c5/6
