Hi Tom (@sandra2018), catheter encrustation and blockage can be alarming, and if not addressed, it can be painful. some people never experience blockages and for others regular blockages can take over a person’s life. I'm tagging fellow members @daughterwwiivet @perrychristopher @cent66 @jakedduck1 @paul55 @jenatsky @whytee @huskerhowy, who may have some suggestions for you.

YES, MY CHILDREN AND NURSES EVERY FEW DAYS. SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO FLOAT OUT OF BED.
THANK YOU
