Follow up…. My new catheter stopped draining today and I was getting really full so called the nurse triage and was told to come back up. Today’s experience was completely different than yesterday’s nightmare and the two nurses were really angels of mercy. I felt a little bad about going since it seemed to break loose on the elevator ride up to the office. They told me I had done the right thing and asked what had been going on. I told the, about yesterday and they were clearly unhappy with how things were done. They reassured me on some things and put a new bag on that was appropriate for me. The one was the head nurse and I got the impression she would be following up with the two who treated me yesterday. I feel incredibly better today and although I hate I’m back on the bag, at least it’s all working and I’m not in constant agony.
Sometimes all it takes is someone who cares about how they do their job.
