OK - we came to IPOP after insertion of the catheter and I learned how to change the dressing and flush the catheter. Did ok even with all the blood from the fresh catheter insertion. Blood all the way down to her waist.. Had a snack, since we did not have anything all day. Got out of IPOP about 6PM and to Pizza Hut around 7 or so.
After a great pizza, we went to Debbie's and Adele said something about feeling blood dripping down her side again. At Debbie's we stripped her top and blood was again all down her side. Laid her down on the bed, with a plastic bag under her, and cleaned and redressed the catheter site. A good learning time - I am ok with dry hands and putting on gloves - but slightly damp hands, even large gloves do not go on easily.
Kept her flat on her back for an hour or so and she was much better. Put old sheets under her for the night and we were Ok.
Thank the lord for good training at JH about how to do this...
