And Baba Desi the Belgrave wizard.

The alarm to get ready for work went off and I woke to a text asking if I would like AL today. Hell yeah I do! Back to sleep for me.

I’ll have to speak to them a bit more to work out exactly how detailed they need or want the model. If it’s just the female model, that won’t be awfully difficult, I can sculpt something if I absolutely have to with my beyond basic skills lol

They really wanted the cross section to be able to show where the device sits and explain in better detail the operation that was done.

Thank you, I’ll check them out also.

That sounds really cool, I’ll have to research that just for myself.

The image my co-worker pulled up wasn’t super detailed, she wants something that can be shown to new staff and patients just so you get an idea of where the urethra and bladder is and how close they are to the vagina.

Then for the male one, just to show how to hold the penis while inserting the catheter. This one will be more of a challenge since it needs to flex, the female one I might have to just model and hope for the best

It wouldn’t need to be sterile at all, it’s just a teaching tool for patients before they are discharged home. Showing exactly where things go and why is much easier to understand when you can see it, an absolute ideal model would be a cross section.

Sorry for the slow reply, I posted that while on lunch.

The thought was more to use the model as a teaching aid, a few of our patients go home with a catheter and its easier to demonstrate on a model rather than just images and explaining it, we have “Harry” who is an abdomen with genitals, but don’t have a female model. I can see my search history is about to get super interesting.

I’m so glad you have fantastic support around you. Pain is something I’m forever telling the folks I care for to not put up with, even if you feel it’s OK just keep up with the pain relief. You might think everything is “normal” without even realising how bad things have gotten.

It’s fantastic when you get someone like that, it’s so rare to be able to geek out over the medical stuff and not scare anyone lol

Glad you are healing well, chronic pain is such a bundle of sticks. I hope something is found and works well to keep you comfortable

How goes the healing? The body is wild, a few weeks back I removed a dressing from a foot with 2 amputated toes, tendons, muscle, fat tissue. The whole lot was right before my face, it was amazing. Two weeks later they were walking out the door to go home, with no issues at all

Oh wow you’ve just fell down that one? Enjoy it all!! I can’t wait for the album Sick Boi

The first time I found Ren - Hi Ren it gave me chills. 2am probably wasn’t the right time to go down that rabbit hole but I’m also so glad I did, I’ve really enjoyed watching his rise over the last few months. I hope this current treatment also does wonders for him.

I never used relay. I was a RiF fan, I had that for years… so long that I actually forgot Reddit had ads!

I tired mastodon on the mobile web, but that just didn’t gel for me, the few times I’ve logged on to Lemmy on the PC it’s also just felt so much easier to scroll and read.

Once I found Liftoff, I’ve used Lemmy exclusively. It’s fantastic, I don’t feel as intimated about commenting (even though this is my first on this account) I’ve found most of my interests again in different communities. There are still a few I don’t have, but that will sort itself out in time.
