It is my in between day from dialysis (my day off from hemo), and boy am i having my issues with this temp cath. I have now graduated to taking a shower, no more of those darn bird baths, that i truly despised. I was so anxious to take a shower, after weeks of those bird bath rituals. I purchase some plastic wrap, and i took my first shower, since starting temporary hemo. My daughter assist me in plastic wrapping myself, securely to take a shower, this plastic wrap, reminds me of the movie with jamie fox, & tommy davidson, who were in the mentality of wrapping themselves in saran wrap, as a means of having safe sex (i truly knew that was bull sh?t). Well, back to the wrapping of my temp cath, finally we finished the plastic wrapping and the double tape action. I began to take my shower, and felt so much relief, and relaxation from this shower, that when i finished taking my shower, i began to remove the plastic wrap and tape, and notice that my tubing from the catherer was a little damp. That darn plastic wrap, didn't work at all in keeping my catherer from becoming wet. So, i decided to purchase some plastic from JoAnne Fabric Store. I will be taking another shower tommorrow, and i will see if this plastic, will do the trick, because i definitely don't want to go back to taking bird baths, just to keep my catherer safe and infection free. So, let's see how that works. Until next blog, take care and all the best to my bloggers. Glo
