Due to a blood clot in my spinal colm. c3,c4 was removed but had already damaged nerves affecting my left side. Numbness and weakness on my left side makes it hard for me to walk and have been using a scooter to get around outside of the house. It also has cause problems with my bladder used diapers 24/7 for 5 years then the dr said I should start self cath to help stop the UTI,s. It did help stop the UTI,s but still had to use diapers as I would leak within an hour of self cath, started 2 times a day and then up to 6 to 8 times a day sthil had to diaper. As time went by my retainaged go worse so I talked to the dr about trying a foley cath. I have been using it now for 4 mos. and has been working good. The Urologisd and my primary dr want me to have a super pubic foley done and have been thinking about it but not sure it will be better. Like to know if anyone that had it done wishes that the did not.
