(22,240 posts)I had yet another episode not long ago prior to the one I mention earlier. I ended up at the ER *again* after taking a bad fall.
And ... I had to pee and pee badly having drank a few cups of coffee earlier.
The nurse at the ER was a young man/kid (IMO) and he wanted to put a catheter in me rather than a bed pan! I told him that it was not that difficult of a thing to do, use a bed pan.
I could tell by the look on his face that he was looking for a cheap thrill out of this whole thing. Alas, he backed off and I got the bed pan except he failed to put it under me and piss was all over everything thanks to this fool.
After that I was sent to x-ray and the man there couldn't figure out why everything was all wet.
I was too embarrassed to tell him why everything was all wet.
I should have said, "Everything is all wet because I had to pee and your nurse working in the ER doesn't seem to have mastered the task of using a bed pan."
I left humiliated and no, I won't ever go there again. I really hope I just die the next time such a need emerges. I can't take any more of this crap or this disease. I'm done.
