So, I read this link and I feel like I should share a story. I'm quite effing drunk right now, so storytime it is.
Had a patient, older than dirt - upper 80's/early 90's and basically a total care specimen. Can't do anything for himself. Demented, stroke, amputated limbs, feeding tube etc... Could still talk though, and surprisingly "present" in the moment. Couldn't remember 10 minutes ago, but could talk to you about things going on in the room like his meal or complain about what was on TV.
He was also incontinent. We have "condom catheters" little condom sleeves with a drain hose that goes to a bag. Makes everyone's life easier when they work. Not allowed to use diapers in the hospital even if they wear them at home.
Anyhow...
This patient's daughter comes by to visit and tells me to take off the condom catheter. Says it's been on too long and "his little guy needs a breather"
Whatever. I take it off and put an absorbant pad under him, and fold it over his belly to basically make a makeshift diaper.
Little while later I go back in there cause I hear the daughter saying "Come on daddy, come on daddy" and as I approach the door she adds "make it grow".... So, when applying the condom catheters, it's well, like putting on a condom. Slipping a condom on a noodle is more difficult. She was trying to make it easier...
I excused myself silently and returned later to the daughter handing me a pair of scissors saying, "I put the drain tube back on, but it was all a mess, so I did a little manscaping while I was down there. That was the first time I'd heard the term manscaping, and will forever be in my head.
