Catheters and I don't get on well. I've had 2 experiences with them in my lifetime (both in a hospital setting), and both were exceedingly painful and anxiety producing.
W,
Ahhhh...someone else has said EXACTLY how I feel about them (catheters). Hospital experiences date way back when retention was an issue, so I understand that and just had
to bear the pain and constant discomfort. I've tried them several times since only to find the pain issue and discomfort is ALWAYS there. If that wasn't enough, a complimentary
UTI or two was thrown into the mix. Call me a 'slow learner'... but..... Them's my thots on the cath.
Now, don't get me started on surgeons with sharp cutting instruments and probing devices........
You have a good 'take' on this, Wetters. Thanks.
