Dawn, he can bone all day on PD. I'm proof of that.

T, it's for the safety and health to have the catheter in place while doinking, that should be a simple enough concept to grasp. And the belly bands would be my choice to keep it still. Can you just get a flesh colored one to appease that idea of being naked?

As a male with a catheter, once I'm inside, I don't really care what's hanging off of who, but that's just my penis talking.

If you want to facilitate a conversation, I'm down.

And billybags, I'll take that as a compliment. I'm all red-blooded American male, yes. I make no apologies for it. However, my wife thinks I should apologize for many things. ;)

 :thumbup; That is pretty much my boyfriend, right there! Ever since his exit site started healing he's been ready to at least get to 3rd base. We haven't gone all the way yet. I think I'm more concerned about it than he is. And when I mean concerned I mean I don't want to accidentally hurt him. If I had the catheter, I'd probably be more self conscious because I'm prone to that anyway.

We waited a few months to actually start bumpin' uglies after I was comfortable with it and handling it. Not to mention, healing.

8-14-11

Ran into a little set back/Problem...... see other thread :(

In short (B/C I really want to have everything in one thread) I will do a quick summary of what happend

1.  Had pain and shortness of breath for about one week
2.  called the center finally Thursday eve and my Dr. & Mandy were on vaca until Monday
3.  Center staff called on-call Neph and I was told to drain and come in for a Hemo treatment the next  :puke;  >:( :'(  The nurse told me that there were no chairs open for me and that she would have someone call me in the AM to let me know what they were going to do with me
4.  I cried... I mean cried  :( :'( b/c they told me that PD solution could be leaking into my lungs  :'(
5.  Friday 9am the Center's director Joanne called me and told me that she called my Dr.  on vaca and that I could wait for a Hemo Treatment until Saturday
6.  I cried and cried and cried and cried somemore.... got super sad and depressed b/c I really really like PD and was enjoying my freedom and just the thought of having that ripped from me.... was breaking my heart!!!!!!!  :(
7.  Went in for my Hemo treatment..... cried when I got up at 4am.... cried when I got there, cried when they hooked me up, cried during....... then was sick and in bed for the remainder of the day (Just like any other time that I did Hemo)
8.  NO treatments at all today for me.... I sit here dry aka empty
9.  waiting to hear on Monday morning what they are doing with me
10.  Hoping and praying that I can go back to PD tomo!!   :pray;

 :bandance; :bandance;  ;D

Joanne called me at 9:35am and told me that she spoke to Dr. Sadovnic and that I am to fill with 1500ml instead of the 2000ml and see if I feel a difference. I asked about Hemo and she said NO more for now!! so hopefully I will be saying see ya later you nasty Hemo  :boxing;

Dr. S  said that he thinks (b/c the pain and shortness of breath went away about 2 hours after I drained out) that my diaphragm was getting pushed on by the PD fluid and that is why he wants me to only fill with 1500ml, so I am to do my 24 hour urine catch (which will be the first one) and go in for some lab work on Thursday.

I was told to call if there is any problems with the 1500ml fills.... I am praying  :pray; that I do not have any problems!!!

Oh PD how I have missed you  :lol; ;)

Until next time

Oh TB, Im sorry you are having such problems on PD.  But maybe droppiing it from 2000 to 1500 might be the answer.  It seems to me I recall with my husband they were like tring to find the balance for him! It seems like they were north one day and the next they went south, but they finally found what worked for his body and it really mellowed out from there!

Bless your heart, I hope they get you figured out and praying its not draining into your lungs!  Do they hear rattling in your lungs?
