Any advice appreciated...
Incontinence issues ….
I’ve had a call from the Urologist (secretary) , and they’d like to know if I’d like to go ahead with ‘being trained’ to insert a catheter (up to 2-3 x day) on my husband.
He’s still retaining up to 200mls of urine (bladder scan)…. when he p's...
Which is leading to ‘leakage and accidents’.
I haven’t complained about having to change/wash/clean my husband, nor have I said how awkward and inconvenient it can be.
They did say at out last appointment to think about it as a way forward.
I’ve just got on with things, and the incontinence is just ANOTHER part of looking after him.
They say if I do this it will prevent a few accidents particularly overnight . Catheter inserted on going to bed, then removed for sleeping…. Quick/simple procedure….
There is NO pressure from them in any way, they were just asking how things were progressing, if at all.
Has anyone else had this offered too them as an option? And if so, how has it worked out? Your thoughts please…..
Take Care
