living with an indwelling foley catheter - female

[marianita]

Lying in a hospital bed with a Foley cathter is uncomfortable enough.  Now that I am home with, I find it much more uncomfortable, especially when I am sitting.  This is my first night home from the hospital and I am worried about doing activities of daily living with it.  I am also worried about how I can keep it discrete  (I use a leg bag during the day) when I am out and about.  Any advice?

I was reading your question concerning "keeping  the catheter (urine bag discrete) My mom had back surgery and also had similar concerns.  She did not want to go out because of the urine bag. I created the U.B.(urine bag) Cover in many different fabrics. If you want to see a picture of one you can email me at ***@****.  My mom thinks this is the best thing since slice bread :)  You can wear as a sort of  purse or attach on the back of your wheelchair. No one will never know you have a  catheter.
