Emptying a foley catheter isn't so hard is it? Do you have any stories that you would like to share?

When I was a care giver we had a couple move into a tiny little room so undeserving after a marriage of fifty years or so. The nurse on the previous shift had given him a stool softener and he was able to go. But instead of putting him on the bed pan for some reason we got him up to go. He deficated as he was standing up and slipped in his mess. I came in the next time and he was gone. He could have broken a hip.
