Hi All
When I connect the day bag to the night bag it seems to be pot luck if it works or not , sometimes you can see flow is instant and I have to set my alarm in the early hours to empty it , on other occasions such as tonight I woke up with pain in my bladder to see that it hasn’t filled at all , when I disconnected from it my leg bag filled up twice in quick succession
there is no change in how I am doing things so am baffled at why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t , the only thing I can think of is that these day bags don’t seem to be the best of quality , on numerous occasions now i also see that the bag is empty despite the fact that I have drunk lots of water soI have to apply pressure to the tubing and manipulate the bag ,then a gush of urine will come from the catheter filling the bag up
I wrote this at 03.30 this morning , since then I changed to a new day bag and connected again to the night bag , this was now at about 06.30, I saw immediately that it was working and managed to get some sleep , when I awoke the night bag was 3/4 full, happy with that but have I got to go through this blockage/sleep lottery every night ? :(
anyone any thoughts on this as I have to say I wasn’t expecting this many issues on the catheter side of things ?
is there a better quality bag that reduces these issues ?
thanks
Nick
