Ralphie ★ Posted March 24, 2023 Share #14 Posted March 24, 2023 I was extremely appreciative of the night hospitalist on visit 1 who gave me many chances to pee before resorting to a catheter.

Pee-lock is a Medical emergency at some point. My cardiologist was quite concerned when I got a UTI oot of the blue. He said that shit can kill you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And before it does it can make your mind play tricks on you. I had my wife in the ER for a UTI and the curtain in her room had squares printed on it. She wanted me to fix the top square and move it down where it belonged. I told her it doesn’t move, it’s printed on. She insisted I had to fix it. Our son joined in and told her it was ok, it was made that way. When the doctor came in she asked him to show these guys how that square is supposed to be. It was sad but also funny. They got that fixed with an antibiotic and she lived another 15 months with a sound mind. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkpow Posted March 25, 2023 Share #48 Posted March 25, 2023 So you didn't go to Rural King? That could explain a lot. Also, I have a helpful tip. Don't sit on your tallywacker when you drive on long trips. That would cause pee to back up and get you infected. I am pretty sure @Rattlecan will back me up on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
