Having a catheter in situ is a bit of a faff. The District Nurse came this morning, just after 9, we'd only been up a few minutes and were drinking our first cup of tea. We were up in the night drinking tea, my fault. I am not comfortable and I haven't spent 8 hours in bed in one stretch for years!
She was very good and allayed some of my fears. She checked me all over and all ok. She brought extra wee bags, the day ones can be emptied, but I have to have a new one each night, I don't know why.
She empathised with my feeling of being uncomfortable, and knew how I felt because she had had a catheter once too. She was here over two hours!
I'm hating the whole thing. I'm not sure how I'll manage going out as the collection bag is on my leg and I haven't got a dress that long. so I've order one from Seasalt. I don't wear slacks.
Dh is very supportive and helps me empty the bags.
I'm only just coping but hating it!
