Reply to "Going at work or public bathroom"

Sharon, thanks for sharing your routine. I too have a kit, but when I have to go at work I stuff my syringe into my sock and the tube and other odds and ends into my pants pockets. I have managed to keep my unique plumbing a secret at work.

That is amazing that you can get away with a folded Kleenex and no tape! I have developed this elaborate paper tape and filter patch. I leak gas during the afternoons often involuntarily and I have had people shy away from me – very embarrassing. I have lost my sense of smell so I don’t really know if I am giving off odor. My theory is the loss of this sense was due to the pouch contents 3-4 times a day. I don’t think our noses were meant to take that kind of assault!   When I figure out how to post pictures I will post pics of the filter – covering design.

I have been thinking about how to alter my diet and eating times as a way to eliminate the need to go while at work or to be able to go without irrigation. Currently I need about a liter of water plus I reserve some to clean out the catheter. I don’t drink coffee so I am trying other things to get pouch contents to flow on their own.

Thanks

Peter
