Dan, have you put any thought into getting a super pubic or the mitrofanoff
that a few of us have gotten? That will certainlty bring down your chances
of infection. I was just curious. That is the reason why I decided
for the mitrofanoff. I wanted to get rid of the Foley and at the same time
dont want anything connected to me. Event though it didn't work for me
the first time I am getting it again and dont let that freak you out.
there's always a small chance and I am the unlucky one it happened to but I hear
it would be worth it in the long run to do it again.

Lori, I know you had quite a problem with a
PROTEUS infection. I had a very serious PSEUDAMONAS infection that put in into
the hospital for 1 week on IV drugs about a year and a half back, that my
Urologist said he knew about but wanted to let it go, to see if I could get
better on my own.....Well it really messed me up and destroyed much of my
white blood cells back then. NOW this Urologist say's I must go to my family
Doc for all bladder infections. Well my family Doctor just told me I got
Pseudamoas AGAIN Today ! He wants to try and treat it with ORAL anti-biotics
-- Levequin. Do any of you know if the more serious types of bacteria
can be treated like that or do they require IV Drugs ?? I'm Lost and confused
on this...as my Doctors seem unsure themselves. I just gave blood today to see
if my blood cells are messed up again............
Thanks,
Dan
