Cancer sucks…don't get cancer. Really! You know I'm upbeat about all this, but today is the first day that I really am feeling like the mindset "cancer sucks". I went and had my foley removed and was suppose to be trained on how to self catheter myself. Apparently the long term solution to my retention is for me to self catheter 4x per day. The training was a joke and they didn't even give me enough catheters to last a week. They literally gave me 8, are you freaking kidding me? That is two days worth, not even enough time to get any ordered.
This can't be a long term solution. Let's do the math, 4x daily, I am 29 years old, the average U.S. female life expectancy is 82 that is 53 years of catheterizing myself daily 4x per day 365 days per year. So… 53 x 4 x 365 = 77,380 times that I will have to self catheter. That is ridiculous. There has to be another solution!
I'm irritated…then I fell down 3 steps on my way out.
