I haven’t posted anything today because the day began at 5:30am not for the Mueller hearing as planned but for dealing with the urine on my bedroom floor because apparently I had not locked the drain spout on the catheter bag during its previous emptying. Fortunately for convenience’s sake I’ve been hanging the bag inside a small waste paper basket, so most of the urine actually was just pooled at the bottom of that. But since I didn’t notice the problem until I went to pull the bag out of the basket, a fair amount of urine had been splashed onto the floor as well.

In the end I went back to bed, and back to sleep, after cleaning up as best I could in the early morning confusion, then tried to reset later on by making an actual breakfast and then watching movies.

Not, you know, the best day ever. Trying to hold onto the fact that at least there was a waste paper basket, at least it was a logistical accident and not a medical one, and at least, as pointed out to me on Twitter, it was my own urine and not someone else’s.
