Nearly midnight now.
Another gruelling day – pain & confusion.
No notes at all. I’ll do my bestest.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Only a bit of blood in the first pouch emptied.
Carer Sharon called; she cheered me up a smidge.
Mini-natter waste bags taken.

Got the slow cooker warming up.
Took this shot and got the pots washed.

Seasoned the spuds. Not had them yet!

Sunshine, the only burst all day.
Catheter tubing is very uncomfortable…
No, bloody painful!

Fifth bag emptying of the day.


Seems to be filling up better today…

An hour and a half later…

Iceland delivery.
Amazed to see some bread rolls.
Checked with a magnifier…
They were sell-by today’s date.
Still, they said they didn’t charge me.
Plenty of from in the fridge still.

I went on my fifth visit to the Porcelain Throne.
Blimey, the bag was spilling again…
Blood in the urine again.

Another bag-clearing episode.

Carer Kara called. She said she’s going on her holiday
so will not see me for a fortnight. Sad!
I’ll miss her wit and help.

Made an Asda order for next week.
Little Inchy bleeding away, and no

to use. Hard work using tissues alone.
Oh, and painful!
Mind you, come think of it, applying
the ointment is not nice. Hehe!

Throne evacuations are still incredibly messy.
At least I have some capsules to take.

Gotten Himmel & Flipping ‘eck…
The catheter bag has filled again!

Well, early morning here again.
Going to get summat to eat with the potatoes,
and then get my head down…

No Carer’s been to put the night bag on the.
I did get a different Carer call earlier, in mistake for going to Neighbour Josie. Not that it mattered in the slightest.
Then ten minutes later, another unknown one arrived to do a courtesy visit.
But no one to fit the .
Still, I can make a meal now without carrying the bag around with me.
Bit of a silver lining there?
I must remember to check the bag each time I wake up during what’s left of the night. I usually do keep waking up regularly, so it should be no bother. As long as I remember to check it.

♫ Food, Glorious Food ♫
Off to get it made. Back in the morning… I hope. Hehehe!

  1. Crime continues. Tonic Seltzer is good stuff. I see the vital s a up a bit with all your bloody wrangling Cathy and the bag. The would make a bloody good name for a pissy punk rock group.

    • I did a search for Tomic Selzer, Tim.
      “Like club soda, seltzer is water that has been carbonated. Given the similarities between them, you can use seltzer as a substitute for club soda in cocktail mixers.

      However, seltzer generally doesn’t contain added minerals, which gives it a plainer taste — although this may depend on the brand. Seltzer originated in Germany, where naturally occurring carbonated water was bottled and sold, before taking off in the United States.
      Thick blood in the pouch this evening again. What’s coming out and in the night bag now, is the same? Yey all day, it’s been pretty clear? If it beats the Urogoly specialists, it certainly beats me as to what and why it is. Hehehe!
      The Kawasaki Cathys… The Catheter Catches… Bleeding Catheter Kings… just musing, Tim. Hehe!

      • I like Tonic Water much better than Club Soda Tonic Water has quinine that helps with leg cramps.

      • Well, I never knew that, Tim.
        With having to frink so much liquid (although yesterday and this mroning its flooding into the bag as blood), to help me empty the bladder, I’vr brrn hsving tonic water, thid have wuinine? Can’t read the labels, to samll wtiting. I’ll ask Richard if I remember.
