Changing Your Catheter is Like Threading a Needle in the Dark
Every time you change your catheter in the middle of the night, it’s a real adventure. It’s like trying to thread a needle, but the room is pitch black and the needle is a catheter. And let’s not even start on those ‘self-lubing’ catheters that seem to have missed the memo on what ‘lubrication’ means.
You’d think after the umpteenth time, it would get easier, but nope, it’s still a game of guesswork and precision. And every time you think you’ve got it, there’s that surprise ‘ouch’ moment that has you questioning your life choices. It’s at these times that the promise of a soothing cup of hot chocolate, with just a hint of brandy, feels like a well-earned reward.
So there you are, post-catheter-changing saga, sipping on your hot chocolate like it’s a trophy. It’s these small victories in the dead of night that make you feel like a bit of a midnight warrior. And hey, if a dash of brandy helps take the edge off, who’s to judge?
