Hey Neal,

I found out early on the importance of keeping the tube near the entry point clean. Especially after a bowel movement, there is sometimes a bit of blood that comes out. If not watched carefully, this dries and as another post indicated becomes like sandpaper. I do alcohol wipes & the Neosporin with a Q-tip & of course stool softeners to lessen the possibility of the blood during bowel movements.

Each day we get up, we're that much closer to getting this darn thing out!

Best wishes,

Yup, use the antibiotic ointment. Also, I learned quickly to save my pain pills, too late though. I didn have enough left for the last couple of days out of the 14 my catheter was in. Man was that aggravating!
