I was unable to urinate recently and went to hospital. I was seen by a nurse pretty quickly and an ultrasound of the bladder was performed. After the nurses had consulted with a doctor from Perth a catheter was inserted. This happened at shift change over. The nurse ending their shift handed over to the nurse starting their shift and made sure that all was good for my well being.
Unfortunately, the catheter used was a smaller one than was desireable and after I went home and went to bed I found that I was leaking around the catheter. I went back up to the hospital and the nurses increased the water in the balloon to stop the leaking. My thanks to Rhiann, Debbie and Linda for the excellent care given.
