Re: [QUAD-L] Supra Pubic Getting jerked out.

[Silas]

I had my indewling yanked out by the day shift nurse while removing my pants, she knew it but didn't say a word because it was her quiting time or she couldn't put in a new one.  So I layed in urin all night.  Silas ----- Original Message ----- From: Lori Michaelson To: Quad Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 12:12 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Supra Pubic Getting jerked out. Even though I have an indwelling Foley, that has happened to me a couple of times in the last 26 years.  And a couple of times is more than enough.  Nothing really happened as far as trauma but it should not have happened in all.   And it has always been during taking my clothes off.  When we train new aides we emphasize the importance of the catheter and not being wiggled or jiggled or moved at all.  If time and care is taken there is no reason it should happen in all.  My problem is that even if it gets moved and tugged it a little bit it causes excruciating lower abdominal pain.  My hypersensitivity kicking in.   Lower abdominal pain, for me, seems to be the absolute worst as far as pain goes.  I will take my chronic back pain almost any day rather than to have lower abdominal pain.   You should be fine   Lori   -------Original Message-------   From: Danny Hearn Date: 03/29/06 17:23:35 To: quad-list@eskimo.com Subject: [QUAD-L] Supra Pubic Getting jerked out.     Today when my wife was taking off my pants for shower and bowel routine...she said my catheter hose got tangled and it pulled completely out of my stomach by accident while the balloon was still inflated. This was a 1st for that happening. We just put in a fresh one and all seems ok........never could reach my urologist. Has this ever happened to any of you ? I guess all is ok...It only slightly bled very little when we put in a new catheter.                                     Thanks, Dan c-6  going on 9 years post and had supra pubic about 5 years.
