Gonna keep it really vague. I am now a pseudo nurse to my beautiful husband who has a temporary piss bag strapped to his leg. It's definitely a new for us.

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh my! Best wishes to husband, and some strength and patience vibes for you.

This isn't related to the shaver incident, is it?

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 4 months ago

Hahaha. Nah but we did laugh at the amount of people who got to see my handiwork.

I did wonder about your hospital comment last night... I hope you're both travelling well. Community nurse here, feel free to hit me up with any questions. Nothing is too gross or stupid.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Omg. Thank you. How the fuck do I wash the overnight bag or do I need to? It wasn't explained to me how but in the pamphlet it says to.

[–] Eagle@aussie.zone 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Empty it (obvs) and and flush it through with warm water from the white tip end out the open tap. You can use some gentle hand soap, nothing as harsh as dishwasher liquid. We usually tell people to do that in the shower. Rinse all the soap out. You can use 1:8 vinegar/water to flush out if you think its smelly. Put the cap back on the white tip, leave the end tap open and hang it somewhere to drip dry. Keep it up off the floor.

Ah. Thank you.

And keep it lower than his bladder.

[–] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hope he's okay!

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 4 months ago

He's ok. He's a little shook but doing well. Thank you.

I’m sorry to hear it. It’s good though because it means he’s been seen and everything is being managed. Fingers crossed he’s okay soon 🀞

[–] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago
