    When I saw the title "I'm safe" I felt such relief! I've been so concerned about you this past week Lisa.

      Aww I really hoped people weren’t worrying - I wanted to upload this sooner but of course I didn’t have good internet in the desert

    My heart aches for everyone in CA, but when you told the story of the father not leaving his son 💔💔💔 I cried.
    I just want to say I appreciate how open and honest you are about the things that go along with your injury. It's changed the way I manage the hotel I work at. So, thank you!❤
    So glad you're safe!

    I am so glad you're safe! And what a blessing to be able to have such wonderful friendships. Don't feel guilty at all!! You deserve them and you time together making memories. You're so sweet to help your friend. My thoughts and prayers are with her and the many others effected. Thank you for using your platform for good❤

    Im so glad youre ok. Its devastating to hear of all those with disabilities that arent able to evacuate. Ive been in a manual chair just over a year and within the past month got an electric chair. Im glad i have it as it relieves the stress on my shoulder, but boy am i finding it slow going. It has 5 speeds but my room is just too s mm all to move fast. You take care, happy trails and safe travels

    I feel for you. My own mother had a rare sarcoma between her uterus and colon, leading to the complete exoneration of her pelvis in 1980. With her bladder gone, she had a urostomy and colostomy, and lived 18 more years. It was a constant struggle to manage her medical supplies. Usually, her devices would be good for 3 - 5 days, but sometimes they would fail immediately, leaking and/or damaging her skin and tissue. She could only order enough supplies for 30 - 45 days at a time, so sometimes she came up short. Seems like every couple of months, she'd be on the phone with the medical supply company pleading for help. Her supplies were not something she could pick up at a local store, so she was at the mercy of the shipping department and postal service delivery. To be honest, this was definitely the WORST part of her condition! We were always relieved when her packages arrived, only to repeat the debacle over and over again. I don't know what to say to you, except that it shouldn't have to be this way. You are a survivor, Lisa, and I can see why. Sending you my love, and keeping you in my prayers.

    Hey Lisa! I use the same cath … my urologist said I could reuse the catheters if I ran out for some reason. Worst case, you could put them in a ziplock with some rubbing alcohol or just use some alcohol to sterilize and reuse them.

    • @pmcallister
      @pmcallister 17 дней назад +2

      My husband’s urologist said the same. Catheters just need to be clean, not actually sterile.

  • @RobertxJenks
    @RobertxJenks 17 дней назад +1

    Glad to hear you are safe. Hate hearing about all the people losing everything and losing friends and family to the fires. I learned a lot about the different companies making catheters and they are all different and having a constant draining indwelling SP tube with a collection bag (bag was easy) was not easy to change on my own when they clogged it was a mess to contain the blood and urine from going all over and the infections with it were always occurring, self cathing is cleaner and less infections but sometimes a little messy for me.
    It's easy to get distracted while cooking when two things your working and drinking from look alike, I do it quite a lot or forget to add something.

    Glad you have a friend who was able to loan you the medical supplies you needed. How awful that the shipment was so terribly delayed. Really appreciated - this window into people affected by the CA wildfires, and the added layer of challenge in evacuation when disability is present. As you say, it is heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing.

    It's good to see you safe and sound
    And that you can count on friends when you need them
    Our thought go out to the people affected by the fire
    And hope the can find a safe haven
    And that something will be arranged for these people later
    So that they can quickly forget this and get theire lives back on track again
    Be SAFE and have FUN (stay out the red zone)

    Hi sweet Lisa! I was concerned about your in California. I'm so glad to know that you are safe and well. I'm sorry for the medical supplies delivery issue. I was really disturbed by your situation, and I would rescue you, like Superman. But, where I live is very far from where you are and it's very cold now. In times of adversities, spending time with nice people is a great way to deal tough times.
    Whatever you do, wherever you go, Pops (me) will be here (on the other side of your camera) rooting for you, sending you my positive thoughts and wishes for your safety, health, well-being, and happiness!
    Go get the world and share your experiences with us, your subscribers.

    Hi Lisa, I’m glad you’re okay. I also feel so sorry for those people that I lost their homes and lives like Australia. We have some incredible bad fires here too but the indigenous people the aborigines used to burn the land so there’s not much undergrowth, but unfortunately we got green is here in Australia tree huggers that don’t allow it to happen, and this is the reason why we have Credible fire storms like in California anyway keep up the good work love and appreciate you keep up the good work stay safe lots of love Cliff from Logan city, Queensland Australia. I’m on the big island

    I wish you lived local to me, I use speedicath catheters too and could have given you a couple of boxes.
    I have some spare indwelling catheters too.
    I haven’t ‘gone’ on my own for over a decade!

      @steven.h0629 that's understandable, but I'm imagining her taking a huge gulp of it, expecting a smoothie. I wouldn't imagine that being a pleasant surprise, lol.
