Hospital Time -- What To Do?

[rh1979]

Hey pupcerberus - How did the hospital stay go?

[Guest fakename7]

Hasn't happened yet. my insurance is fighting against paying for the procedure my surgeon says i need, so it's in the appeals process. Hoping it will be settled soon, so i can get this taken care of and be healthy!!!

I had surgery on my achilles tendon after tearing it doing an obstical

course. At the time I was wearing most days and every night. I was

not sure what to do. So I ended up wearing a pull up to surgery. I

figured they would cath me before surgery. After surgery I noticed

my pull up was still on and no catheter. While in recovery I told the

that I had a pull up on and needed to get changed. She said I was

going to be moving to a room and that the nurse's up on the unit would

change me into s diaper. When I got to the room I had ripped the

sides already and they said we will do that for you and removed

the old pull up and put on an Attends (blue) diaper. These are cheap

diapers but them are noisy and I like that about them. This was the

first time I had ever been changed by a stranger before. I could not

move out of the bed and was not allowed to even rest my foot down

so the nurses changed me 5 or 6 times a day. It was great!! They

did everything for me and used nice warm wipes. I felt very good

being changed every time I hit the button. And some of them would

just come over and check my diaper to see if I had wet it. If you can

bring your diapers more power to you but the hospital ones are nice

too. More so if you like a little crinkle on your bum bum. It was great

for me. I was in the hospital for three days.

I've had a cat placed in me after falling a sleep a couple of times before (for marathon 4+ hours surgeries). Usually though they just leave my diaper alone. As a note you're not allowed to drink water the day of your surgery so you'll show up a bit dehydrated and won't pee much any ways.

I hope that cat was de-clawed before they put it in you!!!!

Yeah, yeah. Spelling mistake. I guess that only makes me feline huh (I mean human)?

I am sure the nurses and medical staff have seen everything, so don't be embarrassed.

I was in the hospital recently and I have a urinary problem that intensifies with my chemo treatment! When I went into the OR the nurse noticed I had a pair of plastics and a diaper on and asked me if I had a problem which I informed her of! Aftermy chemo procedure, a new diaper and my plastics were put back on and I was told if I leaked and got wet, tocall the nurse and she would attend to my problem, which she did! I had no problems after that atr all!

While no one wants to be in a hospital, it's nice to know it can be a good experience that way.

@pupcerberus Did you have your hospital stay yet?

[Guest fakename7]

Nope.

What does that mean for your stomach? I would have thought this something necessary and their obligation to cover

[Guest fakename7]

Well, they don't agree that it's medically necessary. At this point, all I can really do is be careful. They've removed all the fluid, so the band is no longer causing major obstructions, but the possibility exists that it could shift into a dangerous position. If that happens, it will be painful and obvious, and will result in emergency surgery to do what my doctor wanted to do in the first place. Then, the insurance will have to pay for it as a life threatening emergency procedure. Go figure.

Just tell them that you're incontinent.

I was in for a ruptured appendix and was diapered the whole time i was in the hospital as well. The Doctor asked about them

I've had doctors say the same thing to me too. It's amazing the unfounded stigma society has placed on adults having to wear diapers. Especially when you consider how many are sold every day.

Its not really a stigma on diapers but rather anything that seems out of the "norm". People like to live in a bubble of what they perceive to be right and wrong and anything outside of it, like adult diapers, is seen as taboo and bad. People here however, regardless of being full abdl or just curious, don't limit themselves within a bubble.

I realize I'm a year late at responding to this post, but hey, better late than never. My wife's grandmother was 90 and taken care of in home and wore diapers at night as a precaution, but had a bed side potty chair next to her for day times. On occasion she would need diapers due to immobility, and I swear laziness sometimes. But on one three day stay in the hospital for con genitive heart failure we noticed she was wet, we hit the call button and the nurse came in to change the underpaid. We mentioned that she uses diapers and the nurse responded that the hospital has a no diapering policy, and that they will come in and clean her up as many times as needed for the protection of her skin. I guess that makes sense, but for us with diaper fetishes, or actual incontinence, I agree with some of the earlier posts......call the hospital ahead of time and speak with the department that will be caring for you, tell them you regularly wear and should you bring your own or will they be provided....and what the hospitals policy is on diapering........use this as your determining factor as to bringing your own. Remember if your wearing one.....they may not interfere with your regime, if you don't mention them, they will deal with you per their hospital policy....be it, let you wet, then clean you up, assist you to the bathroom, bring you a bed pan,bring you a pee bottle, or catheterization you. But if you are already diapered, or show up with your own stash, they may let you continue with your normal routine. Remember diapers are a normal part of the medical field and each option has pros and cons. .....do what's right for you.....they may ask questions, just be relaxed and answer them, youre not the first person to wear a diaper, don't show your hesitation or fear in answering questions....be strong and they won't blink an eye. Your treating doctor may try to ask further questions and recommend you seek treatment for what ever you tell him, be prepared for that. But I think if you have a realistic cover story, that clearly shows you are an occasional user for a legitimate reason, it may be overlooked by doctors and staff.....(between you, me and the Daily Diaper community, I'm a DL I wear to bed every night and have started to wet during sleep 4 out of 7 night a week).....an example of what happened with me...... I've been through multiple knee surgeries, and have tried many different anti inflametory medications from Celebrex, Mobic, bextra and vioxx. Most caused stomach ulcers, but the vioxx cause a few bladder infections. I was in so much pain....I felt the urge to pee every ten minutes, but would dribble very little, and if I held it during an urge while trying to get to a bathroom it was even more painful. Now I was already wearing diapers as part of my fetish for years up to this point, but never out of the house, and no one knew of my use of them, but I started wearing them 24/7 during this period so when the urge hit I could just go. I obviously went to a urologist, I didn't wear a diaper to his office or mention my diapers to him.......he actually sugested that I temporarily use a diapers or pads, and do not hold back....when the urge hit wet the diaper. He said this a bit hesitantly to me, with care as I was around 25 at the time, and he probably thought I would never consider a diaper at my age ( giggle, giggle....he had no idea) he gave me cipro for the infection and it cleared right up..........so in closing, have a legitiment reason for using your diapers, be comfortable and confident with doctors and staff when discussing your use, or need and if they don't allow them, don't worry ......piss the bed, and hit the call button, maybe you'll get a hot nurse, you'll turn 20 shades of red, but I bet she gets into your pants easier than you trying to pick up a girl at a bar. OK, I'm done rambling, I hope this helps
