Thanks for this information Colleen, it’s so helpful to have!

The recovery is going well except for the incontinence issue. Not to sound ungrateful, but this has been mentally and physically life changing for him. I can see the toll it’s taken on every aspect of his routine. We’re very hopeful that a device like this will restore some sort of normality! Thanks so much for checking in. Our experience with Mayo in general was tremendously positive and having access to this forum helps enormously.
