Not Impossible - Just Inexplicable!!

The district nurse came in yesterday with a supply of flip-flows(!!!) and to check Pete's op site.  I explained to her what had happened on Friday, expecting her to totally disbelieve me, but, no, apparently it can happen but she doesn't really know how or why.  She said if the entrance site is a tight fit and the catheter is shut off then it will find another exit.  I fully accepted and understood this - but, thinking about it later, it still isn't really the explanation as the bladder had not filled to the extent it needed to find another way out.  So, there we go, I still find it inexplicable and have no idea what was going on.  However, she said if Pete is more comfortable using the continuous flow leg bag then it is best to carry on with that and it won't be a problem.  I just have to explain at the hospital, when they do the first catheter change, that we did try it and it didn't work.  She also checked the site and it is looking nice and clean and doing fine.  She left some dressings to be changed weekly (although it has to be checked daily to make sure there is no infection or discharge).  So all is well again.  When Pete has the catheter changed after 8 weeks the hospital may want it left open - we just have to wait and see what they say.

Other than that, Pete continues as usual.
