Thank you very much!
Okay, we are going to insert until we see some urine come out,
which I am seeing, so we will go just a little bit farther to make sure we are all the way in your bladder.
Now I'll go ahead and inflate the balloon to hold it in you. Are you having any discomfort?
Does that feel okay? Oh perfect. I'm glad to hear that. Okay. We are going to attach
Okay.
We are going to attach the cathater to your leg now to make sure it does not come loose.
And then I am going to hang it on the bed frame so that it does not move
