Hi Dave
No pinching on thigh. I just find a spot where it will go in all the way without too much pain etc Area on my left leg is slightly numb from an old martial arts injury so making use of that.
the clexane I have is really well designed and nurse said thigh is fine as that’s what she used when my stomach was well worn from all the ports.
i only use the night bag at night as I go to bed. I’m just mindful of pipe routing so less chance of pinching it off etc. Flowed find across legs and down side of bed into the 2ltr night bag on the stand in a builders bucket. During the day I did get caught once or twice with my mobile 500ml bag when napping. Woke up and it was at max pressure. So I just waddled you the loo to empty. I think if I had needed one longer I would have been tempted to get the 750ml expansion tank and hooked that down my leg.
As Chris said it’s wise to empty well before being full I think for hygiene and backtracking reasons although all my valves were non return type.
enjoy your Wednesday and should be over the catheter before you know it.
