This is probably quite a strange question but....
I recently dislocated and badly fractured my ankle and had to spend a week in hospital during which time I had to use a catheter. This was put in by a student nurse who really struggled and had to have several attempts. After a couple of days it came out.
I have since returned home to downstairs living as I cannot weight bare for eight weeks (what a nightmare as I have a child with dislocated hips!) I have a hideous but necesary commode in the sitting room but I have noticed that when I go for a wee, I don't feel as though my bladder has fully emptied. I'm not sure if it's because I'm largely immobile as I have to sit with my leg up all day, or if it's because the commode is the size of a small casserole dish or if in fact some damage could have been done when the catheter was inserted/removed.
Ultimately, my bladder just doesn't feel like it fully empties. Does anyone have any insightful wee advice?
Thanks a lot
