catheter bags and glasses
my old dad used to need regular visits from me to keep an eye on his carers and stuff.He was 88 and had dementia and short term memory problems. He loved a drink , single malt mostly,and gin when he'd finished the single malt. Early days with the catheter he would empty it himself into a handy receptacle that he could reach from the comfort of his rise n recline armchair( usually a mug or empty glass) and put it on the table beside him, ready for the next carer to remove.
His lunchtime lady Jan used to pour him massive whiskeys. Proper half pint sized whiskeys.( Jan was his favourite )
The amount of times he told me at teatime that his whiskey tasted like piss. Annoyingly i always had to sniff it for him and yes, as suspected, it was his whiskey coloured piss.
In the end i stuck a note onto the out tube of his catheter saying " do not decant " That seemed to work. I do miss the old sod
