Hello, friend home with cath w/leg bag following surgery. uncomfortable sleeping on back. how to sleep on side w/o compromising cath flow. thanks.

Ok to sleep on side: You just need to make sure you are not laying on the catheter itself. As long as you are not laying on the tubing, it will still flow.
