I thought about it for a minute.No "E"?
I am glad your head feels better, loopy is better than the alternative.
Hehehe yes, we all call it a texas catheter and it's so funny trying to put a thick condom on a limp penis. I am pretty good at it. I always wanted to know why it is called a "Texas"-- I mean really?
The worse is when they don't stay on and we try everything! Barrier spray skin prep works pretty good but it gets sticky.
The craziest is when the confused crazy man starts mumbling: what are you doing to me?
Oh, I am putting on a condom that connects to a bag so that when you make urine, we can measure it. Does that make sense?
"You are playing with my dick, you are a sick one!"
we're getting ready for my mom's retirement. 41 years as an RN,
Wow! I never read the directions. I never activated the adhesive because I didn't know it existed. I am going to try it.I've wondered about the "Texas" reference myself. Ours usually stay on pretty well, as long as you activate the adhesive that's already applied to the inside according to the directions - i.e., grab the penis in a firm fist and hold it for 30 seconds to a minute. That's always a bit awkward. At least most of my patients are not able to understand what I'm doing. I feel worse taking them off - it always ends up ripping a bunch of pubic hair out.
On a completely unrelated topic, we're getting ready for my mom's retirement. 41 years as an RN, 32 of them in the facility where I now also work. She doesn't want a big party - ummm, tough shit ma, a LOT of people want to come and wish you well. We've already had to change venues twice to upgrade to bigger conference rooms because of the number of people we're expecting, and there's still a month and a half to go. It makes me very proud, actually - she's a great nurse, and she is always willing to take the extra time for whatever comes up - to teach and mentor anyone who asks, console grieving parents, step up and help us aides with whatever mundane task we're doing, etc. She thinks that nobody notices, so I think she's going to be overwhelmed when she sees the turnout.
Holy Toledo!
That is double-tuff.
Your Ma sounds awesome. This story makes me want to be better. That's a long time. Have a great party!
I hope today was better.Days like yesterday could cause PTSD.

I recently got pulled to the emergency department. My role there is to care for those waiting for unit beds. It is all deer in the headlamps look, and I am like: what is going on here?I will need one for everyone in the ED, including housekeeping.
It is NOT a good day when an entire dept has that deer in the headlights look.

Dr. Dirty wants a struggle but he is going to need a bigger, wider leather belt to beat me with.
I will take a hurting before giving him the joy of my tears, again.
New patient this week, something I thought I'd never have to see again: a little girl (only 6 y.o.) with a MASSIVE unshunted hydrocephalus. Now I am no stranger to hydro, I worked with a woman who had a 56-inch head circumference. But she was much older. You just don't see it in people under 40. Lately they usually detect it in utero, the shunt is placed within days of birth, and the kid stands a pretty good chance of having normal intelligence.
I asked the attending, "why isn't she shunted?" He showed me her MRI. The middle of her brain is missing. The fluid is the only thing keeping her brain from collapsing. She's little enough now that she can still sit in a wheelchair, and she's a sweet kid. Surprisingly smart considering how little brain matter she actually has. But her head is going to keep getting bigger, and bigger, and eventually she'll be confined to a cart or stretcher, unable to support her massive head upright.
Well, fuck.
Well, fuck.
I could not do it.Heartbreaking. I cannot imagine how you cope.
