Thanks :) I went to the sight and purchased the clip, I can't wait to start using and it stop worrying about floods!  Also, I was surprised to see your catheter itself looks different than mine.. do they differ according to area, the company we use or the hospital?

Rerun: Wouldn't your friend have a problem with restrictions on carrying weight because of the
PD catheter? I've been told not to carry more than about 12-15 lbs.

OH, I didn't know that.  Thanks!

How do people get on who do pd and live by themselves?  Because we don't have the system where it can go into the toilet, I end up with a 15kg bag in the morning.  Even trying to drag that weight to the shower would be a bit iffy I think.  I was never told not to lift heavy things - it's just that I can't anyway.

I wasn't sure but good answer from Jenabcd. It may be the problem is that the catheter
breaches, and thus weakens, the abdominal wall which make hernias easier to happen.

This is very true!

I wanted to come back and THANK YOU for introducing me to the genia clip!  Who knew such a small thing could be such a large help!  It cuts off at least 5 minutes of my preparation time since I don't have to struggle to tape the line to the sink  :2thumbsup;
