    • Again, going directly to YouTube requires a login yet playing it through the Chaisen Hale site has no issue. The’ve again put better consistency throughout the video for minor objects across scenes in the video, but they were NOT consistent with who had which half of the heart.  Other than the half heart issue,  it’s very hard to see this is AI generated when just viewing the video.
    • Yup.  Watch out for what apps you have loaded on your phone and what (global) permissions you have given them, possibly by default!
    • I find the bulk of a Super Diaper like a MegaMax or Mega Inspire+ or BeDry Night Premium to be workable when out and about, for the first 25-50% of their life expectancy, after which they generally get too bulky to wear, anywhere but around the house or the yard. The bulk doesn't bother me, per se, although I do get tired of the "sitting in a bag of damp oatmeal" feeling that big diapers inevitably cultivate, because unless you're going to take it off early, you're going to be in it for 12 or 18 hours. When they start to feel wet, is a function of how prolific a user you are - some of them can still feel mostly dry, even after six or seven hours, but at some point, they will start to be tactilely damp on the skin. Meanwhile, they could still have hours to go.  I could upsize my wardrobe to allow for wearing sodden MegaMax's out to the mall, but then I'd feel too bulky in other ways; I already wear oversized clothes, generally, and I'm not the slimmest individual to begin with, so I don't want to go from "pudgy, could lose a few pounds" to "might be craned out his bedroom window on the news" levels of visual bulk. I've never tried the likes of a Posy or a Trest, though. Perhaps I would find them bulky just to wear, even absent the swelling. I do find bigger diapers harder to manage on, say, a hike, where I'll tend to want something of medium bulk. A big diaper can have lots of points of contact that can lead to chafing. 
    • Some time ago I wore a foley catheter for 6 weeks continuously on two occasions with no issues. In more recent years and following advice on this forum, I have been taking Methenamine Hippurate whenever using a catheter or stent, which is frequent. (I am, however, a little concerned about possible damage to aging kidneys). Following catheter or stent removal, I take a Cranberry capsule each 12 hours for 48 hours. Never have UTI.  As a precaution, I try to keep a current script for a suitable antibiotic on hand; Trimethoprim. When using a catheter, I prefer a leg bag, belly bag or night bag. I was once fitted with a thigh bag following an op but found it very uncomfortable in summer.  With a leg bag, the “slosh” problem can be overcome by pushing out all the air when emptying. Certainly, a good night’s sleep can be assured with a catheter and leg bag or a stent with suitable padding and plastic pants. The only time I had a plumbing failure was with a night bag connected to a leg bag. I much prefer the night bag to be connected directly to the catheter. Also I enclose the night bag in a hot water bottle cover; more cosy.    Good luck!
    • Love the idea of Charlie wanting to start his own little daycare. I think Sarah will probably end up as part of it. I think Sarah has a good heart like Charlie’s mom.
