In my last post, I mentioned that I had lost Dennis' sleeping pills. Well, as it turns out, it was a good thing they were misplaced that night. (Yes, they have been found). We ended up calling 911 and sending him off to emergency because his catheter had fallen out. After 6 hours, we were back home, sleeping, but not until I had learned a few new lessons.
1. Don't cut the stitch, even if it is tearing the skin around the insertion site. I did this a few days ago, and the added protection of the stitch was gone when the balloon failed.
2. Balloon's fail. When they fail, they look the same as a shriveled penis; nothing like the blown up version.
3. Pay your insurance premium, no matter how over priced it may be. I have been complaining about how much we are paying, since COBRA ran out and Medicare isn't available, yet. But, in one short night, we covered the monthly payment of the premium.
4. Not all irritating occurrences happen during a full moon.
All was well after the change of the catheter. Actually, Dennis seems to be feeling better than he has in a while. Maybe it was a bad insert. Maybe it was simply, that Dennis wanted to see a really HOT doc (and, oh, she was hot!), instead of the milquetoast that didn't seem to care after the surgery. Or maybe, it was just a sign that missing a doctor prescribed drug isn't always a bad thing.
