For all my CALS who have knowledge (nurses) or have put on one of these cussed things, I need help. It is becoming harder -not a good choice of words - more difficult to put on Joe's condom cath. I've been using them for the last couple of months and all of a sudden, I'm having trouble not only putting it on but keeping it on. He has a horrible bed sore and that's all I need is to have urine get into the dressing.
First of all I don't think woman know exactly how to handle a condom. I said the the doctor "don't you have to have an erection for these things." He started laughing and said -well that would make it a lot easier. Ok Max, BigMark, Dalvin and all the rest of you guys stop laughing.
His doctor is coming over in the morning and we will probably go to a regular cath. Our oldest son, Michael, came over and I was telling him that I can bag him and suction out mucus plugs easier that putting on the cath. He responded by saying - well don't look at me. I'm serious Michael and he says so am I. Yep, nursing home is where I will be.
I told Joe the other day, ok buddy, we have 2 choices here. Duct tape or crazy glue. I got a little smile out of that. I do have some super prep that I apply.
