[quote=Anonymous]I provided nursing care to a man who was catheterized full time - it is a painful condition to endure primarily because of the psychological effects. Clearly your dad is struggling with depression/grief over his deteriorating body and has sought solace in alcohol. Yes the physical effects of messing around with his catheter and not properly caring for himself are something that needs solving asap, but it’s not going to get solved until he gets help with his feelings about it. He’s essentially suicidal because he’s despondent over the condition. He needs emotional support that will be critical to addressing the functional issues. [/quote]
