People who sleep through the night are such freaks.

What do you mean you don’t wake up to go pee at 3 am, and then just lay in bed for awhile doing night math and thinking night thoughts?!

Mastodon.

    A sleep doctor wired me up one night and then prescribed a c-pap and gabapentin for sleep. And a urologist has me taking Flowmax and self cathing every night before bed. It also helps that I live in the middle of a forest with no streetlights or neighbors and sleep in a near blackout room. I can now mostly get 4 to 6 hours of sleep regularly. Still, the cats romping around the house at night can wake me up at 3am. The dogs at least sleep all night.

    But damn, I never missed a pager going off.

        You get really, really good at it. And intermittent self cathing is far better than wearing one with a bag strapped to your leg all the time. I’ve done that too. None of this does your sex life a lot of good though. But prostrate issues never do.

        Pro Tip: Everyone should know their catheter size, I use a 16 french for example. I also recommend the hydrophilic lube with coude tip ones for easier insertion and placement.
