It comes round every month a regular as clockwork! Catheter change day. Today I had two nurses come and visit me all done up in PPE and as smart as two new pins! One was my regular district nurse and the other a student nurse! The students voice seemed familiar but behind the mask and stuff I didn't recognise her. She used to work at Strode Park in Herne where I go for my respite care and I hadn't seen her for over six months so maybe I can be forgiven for not recognising her. The change was a regular one but because of all of the recent problems with blockages the idea was to fit a larger catheter.
Sounds simple right? The reality was far from simple. Small hole and larger tube didn't mix and after a few attempts it was back to fitting the normal size one again, so when lockdown is over its a trip to Canterbury hospital urology department and get them to do it. I had general anesthetic for the original so maybe I'll be knocked out again for them to sort it!
All this messing around left me exhausted so I have been in bed all day sleeping. Multiple Sclerosis affects me like that, the slightest hint of trauma and I am exhausted, I slept most of the day Sat in the chair for dinner and straight back to bed!
