We are still keeping going, although only in the mornings and evenings. Im wondering whether this will be sufficient as he can pass urine, just not very much, during the day.
It feels very much like good news and bad news. The good news is that I can manage it, OH is fairly compliant and it means that he sleeps well during the night now - no constant getting up and down to the loo, he just sleeps straight through. This means that he seems brighter during the day and is no longer having mid-morning and/or afternoon naps, which is wonderful.
The bad news is, though, that he finds it very uncomfortable and, at times, downright painful, so Ive had to stop and start again. The other problem is my back which is not taking kindly to bending over for about 5 mins at a time. Last night it was protesting so much that I was worried that I would just collapse, which would have hurt both of us. This morning I explained the problem to OH who was able to understand in the moment and I got him to take my weight by putting my left elbow on his right knee. I will obviously have to explain that this is what I will have to do each time and eventually I suppose that we will get to the stage that he just wont understand, but for now it is OK and my back is not so bad. Im also hoping that with practice my technique will improve so that OH finds it less uncomfortable.
I also wonder what would happen if/when my disc goes again and I cannot lean over at all.
