Nobody told me!!!

Okay, I'm kind of awake right now because I just gave myself a lot of pain. This is a little embarrassing....I apparently have something between my legs that is connected to me by skin, not tape. I was getting my diaper changed and since my hand was at my side anyway I figured I'd grab a hold of the tube down there and pull on it, just like I pull on my NG tube and my Ventilator tube. Well..well..well, whatever I have between my legs is not a tube and it is NOT MEANT TO BE GRABBED OR PULLED ON!!!! Talk about not breathing. My O2 saturation went from 88 down to the low 40's in a matter of seconds. That is the last time I go exploring!!!!!

My nurse quickly tried to remedy the situation by removing my hand, and in the process, I was so startled that I promptly wet the bed...which then made my new, clean diaper not so new or clean. I think I'm okay now, but talk about a traumatic event!
