Hi Steph,
Are you in a nursing home? How is it there,
do you get good care? Do you ever get out and go places, my worst fear is
ill end up in a nursing home.
Talking about uti's I had a lot of trouble when I
was getting straight cathed every 4 hrs, ive had a indwelling for several months
with no problems.

When I lived at home I rarely got infections.
I believe it had a lot to do with keeping the bags properly cleansed, too. At
home my caretaker would rinse out my bags with hot water then half fill them
with a equal mix of white vineagar and water then hang them over a towel
rod in a way where the connector end came in touch with nothing - I stayed UTI
free for years. Here when they do rinse it out it's not always throughly or
with hot water and they're required to put them in plastic bags so I keep a
steady UTI! I've put up written instructions, I've talked and tried to make
them understand but it's hard because some care, some don't.
