Past Memories

I remember learning to shower again and dress myself again. I ignored the fact that fully dressed women saw me completely naked. Later when treating my burn grown and fully dressed men saw me pants-less. I wasn't awake during my surgery thanks to drugs which sounds creepy in hindsight.

The doctors ordered I not use a toilet whatever their reasons were. The night of my stroke a male nurse inserted a catheter incorrectly I assume because I still had bladder control and I begged to night nurses to let me use the toilet and avoid wetting the bed. They compromised with a bed pan- probably to shut me up which I used gratefully used to the surprise of the on-duty nurses. I never lost my potty-training (thank goodness).
