I'm glad your husband is doing well. 🙂 Sorry about that path report but you both seem to be taking this in stride. Once that cath comes out his healing will speed up and he will start feeling much better. I said every profane word when I chucked that huge collection tub and when I chucked that compression garment I almost cried.

This. Absolutely this.
The emotional side of this whole thing is pretty tough.
You'll find that once he's free of the catheter, your moods will both be noticeably improved.
Being chained to that tube will drive anyone crazy & things will definitely feel better once that's out & he can feel even slightly more normal.
(also, the actual catheter removal isn't anywhere near as traumatic as his imagination is no doubt telling him. Over in 5 seconds).

Thanks Jay - well, what one can do but "stride forward" ; ), and hope for the best. My husband is doing much better than me (regarding report) but I am putting brave face on regardless of how I feel for his sake 🥰. Underneath my mask I am slowly suffocating and grasping for air ;).
