@piki can I ask why you need a catheter? I have not been able to be cured from a UTI just wondered if that was the reason for your catheter

@beckyrpsiagnosis Ostomy was December 2023 and suddenly in February 2024 I just quit being able to pee and had to accept a urethral Foley catheter. I was basically hung out to dry by my urologist...but I was too uneducated to know what I needed or what was out there. I was not given a TWOC until well into September and if I could have made my way back, I'll never know. For me, after several months, it was just too late. Then by accident I learned about the suprapubic catheter. Managed to get myself to a new urologist...no mean feat in Ontario...and a SPC (suprapubic catheter) in a month and here I am.
