Dialysis Patients...what do you think of the Shower Shirt? It can help protect catheters while showering and it is now covered by Medicare for ESRD patients! http://www.theshowershirt.com/

Can't see it as a 'trendy jacket' after use.  I'm keeping my eyes open for something to shower with an HD catheter, though.

Medicare covers "trendy jackets" now - wahoo! Tony wants me to buy him one just so he can say he wore it as a trendy jacket. But the idea is great, way better than the tegaderm I have to buy and use!
