Memories of rural life on a Pennsylvania farm in the early years of the 20th century. Although the topic is different, I've added (in 2009), my cousin's absorbing paper, "The Handicapped At Home." REMEMBER: To start at the beginning, you must click on the June 2006 section of the archives, go to the June 25th entry, then "scroll up" from there.

Judy: 1, o.

a). Using approximately six inches of non-allergenic Dermicel silk tape, fold the middle three inches in half, stick sides together. This leaves approximately one and one-half inches at each end for sticking onto the leg.
b). Using the non-sticky portion (middle) of the tape, form a loop loosely around the catheter tube on the inner, upper thigh area. When properly positioned, secure both sticky ends to the leg. These in turn are secured by Dermicel clear tape at right angles to the silk tape. (See Appendix I, drawing 6)
4). Due to a greatly reduced bladder capacity, I cannot clamp off my catheter during the trip to the bath tub. Instead, we have another string and hook suspended from the side of the tub for hanging the drainage bag while I am bathing.
