If referring to sex, Melanie can achieve orgasm by stimulating lil' Red
Riding Hood, however she is unable to void (urinate) on her own yet. We
did bladder training last Friday 13 through Saturday 14, the visiting
nurse removed Mel's cath about 7:00 PM last Saturday evening, but by
2:00 AM Sunday morning I took her into the Emergency Room at Kaiser to
have her cath'd, as she was bloated, extending and unable to void more
than a few tablespoons at a time. We are asking for regular caths now
instead of the Foley or Leg Bag, so that we can cath her only when
needed and give her a chance to retrain her bladder and go on her own.
Hope this helps.
Pat & Mel
Ps. By the way everyone, I have been really busy with work this week to
write, but Mel is walking on her own now! It has been 5 weeks since she
was diagnosed w/ TM. Keep faith in yourself, it could happen for you
too. Mel and I are overwhelmed with gratitude that is for sure. Also,
very appreciative of the support we have received from the members here
an the list. keep believing in yourself!
