I've just spent the last month coping with a urinary catheter. I've had to cope with empyting the 'leg' bag, and even changing same on a weekly basis. All the personal care that goes into managing the catheter has been a real stress, but I'm coping.

Yesterday I managed to drink water out of a glass after just filling it once. Usually I fill and empty the glass at least 3 times before I'll drink the water due to contamination worries

Today I fell flat on my face and got covered in salt, grit and mud. But I managed to pick myself up, wipe myself down and carry on despite being severely shaken up by the fall. I also haven't changed my clothes since getting in.

Yesterday I managed to ger ready in the morning in 45 minutes, { sometimes it takes me nearly two hours} and left the house with only checking plugs etc once.

Today I managed to catch a long-distance train without being able to check my luggage in case I'd forgotten something. Needless to say I hadn't forgotten anything! All that panicking for nothing.
