Hi, @1942marilyne.
Here's a discussion about catheters that you might find helpful:

The discussion includes some information about managing a catheter.

You mentioned a stimulator. Perhaps you're talking about the InterStim device? There are a few discussions about that, including:

Are you considering the InterStim?
