We just use sterile water, some Quads just use regular water, some I think use
a light mixture of vinegar with water.

Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Things got interesting today That is one of the
reasons I got a supra-pubic indwelling catheter, I was getting blockage from
regular cathing every 8-10 hours or so, plus my family was stressed out by it
and I was not able to cath myself. So my doc said I needed a supra-pubic, I
know a few people may have had problems with theirs but getting mine was a life
saver for us...We simply drain the bag at night and each morning and change the
catheter and bag once a month...If we think it is needed we flush the bladder
when we change it . Dan H** On Sunday, April 9, 2017 9:41 AM, Jeffrey

what you need to do to stay healthy. Easy to blame "people" when you aren't
willing to do what's necessary. I only know I can say this kind of stuff
because I've done the same things many times and blamed many others when I know
it starts with me. It's tough. I know. But it starts with you. If only talking
with someone in the know: a caseworker, your doctor, anyone, you never know
what's out there until you look.

Subject: [QUAD-L] Things got interesting today I was almost in trouble today
people. I got ready to attach my handcycle and headed out as normal. Made it
just over a mile and dysreflexia started in with a combination of the sun and
my blood pressure started creeping up like a monster. For some reason since I
take pain pills a small amount of urine 300cc turns my body dysreflexic and
needs to catherize immediately. I turned around and started home but as soon as
I peddled up the hill my vision was going a bit. Luckily I finally made it to
my moms garage and took the handcycle off and tried to catherize in a urine
bottle right then and there. As soon as the urine started coming out it got
better, then I splashed some water all over my head. It reminded me of that
story of the quad in the power chair that went to the park on a 95 plus day and
got stuck I the sand. The guy was found dead face down in the sand a few hours
later. What makes these challenges as a quad even tougher is people.......even
family don't get it at all. They think you are making it up for fun or
something. Its starting to suck with standard catherizations, especially
getting out of bed every few hours during the night to cath. I wish I had a
nurse in the family or something so I could attach a bag during the night at
least but I guess Im not tough enough and need to stop whining. Ron
