Opps, again

[Archives1]

I do not leak. I gush, like a racehorse. I have to change my diaper many times a day, due to not making it to the bath room in time. I wear shorts around the house. Not sleeping much, due to having to go every two hours. You could say I sleep like a baby. I'm venting, but any words of wisdom would be welcomed.
Thanx.

Try plastic pants.

Thanx, I will.

I use them at night mostly.

You might consider trying heavy washable diapers plus waterproof pants. The upfront costs are steep, so, if you explore that route, begin with a minimal purchase. However, over time, they can be much cheaper than disposables, and they offer significantly better protection. Good luck and report back.

Catheters?? I sleep like a baby with a foley in.....it's great!!

 

[Archives1]

A long, long time ago, I had a catheter in, but I don't remember it due to the coma. Plus them sizures(sic) kept pulling them out.

Embarrassment aside, it is worth wearing a diaper and plastic pants to get a good nights sleep. Without these my subconscious seems to keep me half awake and getting up to go a few times a night. With protection I sleep soundly and awake refreshed.

Thanx, Bobby 103. Sounds good. Right now, I'm dealing with Shingles.
Shingles should only be on roofs.

Shingles can be excruciatingly painful, but there is a vaccine for them. Contact your family physician to arrange for a shot at an appropriate time.

Thanx, I see my Doctor tomorrow.

On May 3rd, I learn how to put in a "cath". Wish me well!

 

[Archives1]

Consider your wish granted.

Best of luck. Are you using intermittent or "straight caths" or indwelling "foley caths" I have no experience with staight cathing. I'm a foley user, my wife does it for me as she is a nurse and is quo and efficient with it. I have had 2 UTI's in 2 years.

I'll find out when I go to my class.

Sorry to hear about your difficult situation.

18 months ago my fiancé and I developed a product for a neighbor who was dealing with frequent night time bedwetting. He loved it so much we decided to bring it to market. We called it the 'Just-In-Case'.

Fast forward to now and we just launched our website and would love to get the word out to help others as we have helped him.

I hope it may assist you with getting a good nights sleep without waking up to a surprise. (its marketed primarily to children but I slept in it for months during the R&D stages and was completely comfortable).

Good luck and best regards,
David

@Debbie

Hope your solution with a cath is working out now.

I understand the 'gush like a racehorse' issue. I called
it my 'Niagara Falls Syndrome'.

Well, I think I'm a bit late in telling the news, but I don't need a cath.
Been to therapy, learning about exercises, which work.
Also, getting a shingles shot up here is like finding hens' teeth--ain't gonna happen.
Except at the drug store.
