Hello!
Got a call from my nurse at the Montréal neurological hospital she wanted to know how my catheter was going seeing that I have an appointment with the urologist in June she wanted to be kept up to date on my infection and how it was being treated. I told her I was doing fine and that thanks to an error by a nurse that came one night and installed a latex catheter, I was doing dandy!
It seems that latex works fine with me because my wife can de-block it by doing an irrigation. What is an irrigation? Simple really, my wife takes a big syringe fills up with water, sterile water, connects it to the catheter and then flushes water into my bladder, unblocking anything that might have been blocking the pathway of the urine. This is the good news, the bad news is that my CLSC doesn't carry them, they don't believe in them, I guess they rather pay the exorbitant price of a nurse that comes at midnight for emergency purposes then to buy at $26 dollars latex catheter. We'll see what will happen!
Take care people!
