Leg Bag

Tom here:

I finally got around to putting on the leg bag that came home with me from the hospital. I hadn't bothered with it, thinking I was tethered to the toilet anyway, and any clothes that I wear would probably get wet, since the diaper sometimes leaks where the catheter tube comes out of the side.

Well, I was wrong. I hadn't realized the value of even 45 minutes of unfettered freedom! Instead of being stuck in the bathrobe and pajamas I have been wearing (altered in the front so the tube could get out) I was able to dress in sweat pants and a sweat shirt, put on and hat and a vest and go for a good walk on a bright, sunny winter afternoon. Coming back, I picked up my newspaper and emptied my mailbox... what freedom!

Life is good.
