Woke up to Thunderstorms this morning. Yesterday it was just plain HOT. DH and I got out on our cruiser motorcycle. Doc said I couldn't ride my dirt bike but he didn't say squat about riding 2 up with my sweet DH. We rode down to Macon where the HAM club there was setting up for field day. They do that once a year to bring awareness for emergency preparedness where HAM radio operators would be paramount to communication in the event of a disaster that would disrupt normal communication.

Got home about 1:30 then worked our own contacts with our radio. DH got more than I did but he doesn't have my short attention sp....oh LOOK! Something Sparkly!....wait a minute,what was I talking about?

Okay, serious now. Indwelling Foley catheters are more uncomfortable (generally during insertion) for men than women simply because of the length of the male urethrae tube coming down from the bladder and the enlargement of the prostate gland in older males. And yes, they have to be kept clean so bacteria has a harder job reaching the bladder and causing an infection. (good idea to ummmmm clean down there daily) Also have to take care when swapping out collection bags that the end of the catheter doesn't come in contact with anything unsanitary. Always a good idea to use some alcohol swabs to clean around the attachment nozzle of the collection bag and the opening of the catheter before putting them together.

But generally, long term indwelling catheters shouldn't be too Uncomfortable. But they have to be changed out regularly, usually every 30 days where I worked clinical to prevent infection. When all is said and done, it's all about upkeep and cleanliness.

It's stopped raining and the temp is down enough to turn off the AC. YAY! Have PT tomorrow and Thursday due to the holiday. They gave me 4 new exercises to add to my growing collection so I'm officially up to 1.5 hours of exercises at home. Sigh........

My daughter and her family are driving through Missouri right now, just passed St. Louis, on their way to Michigan to visit some of his family. Said they passed through some rain south of St. Louis.

Yup, raining on us now with some thunder. Trying to cook hash browns from scratch with two dogs at my feet as if I am the great storm protector, lol. Hash browns not sticking together, I chopped them in the food processor. Shoulda grated em on the box grater I guess. Crisping them on stove top in batches, warming in stove. Not wonderful but I reckon they'll eat.
