I am the kind of person who loves to take a shower in the morning. It’s like my cup of coffee – it wakes me up and helps me get going! However, with my catheter, it’s not as convenient to take a shower every day.
I like to take a shower only on the days I have dialysis. This helps limit the chances of getting my catheter wet. Getting it wet could lead to an infection. Each treatment day the nurse replaces the catheter bandage with a new one. If I get the bandage damp, I know it will get replaced that same day.
On days I don’t take a shower, I still want to get clean and feel refreshed. I bought these great wipes called “Wipes for Your Life” with a mint scent (other scents are available). The wipes are very large, and the smell is great. I feel like I stepped out of the shower after I’m done. Highly recommend getting a wipe for in between shower days. Baby wipes really didn’t work well. You need something made specifically for adults.
It would be nice to put them in a baby wipe warmer for the colder months, but the coldness is also a wake-up call.
