Dave,
I usually have 10 cc in my balloon also. On my last visit to the urologist,
they only put 6 cc of water into the balloon. I think my doctor decreased
the water to 6 cc because I was having bladder spasms. The doctor prescribed
Detrol for the spasms, but I never took it. Five days later, I pulled my
catheter out by mistake and had to go to the emergency room. My husband and I
were out of town at the time and had to actually find a hospital. My
urologist said I had to get there within two hours. Once at the hospital,
they
replaced my catheter and put 10 cc of water in the balloon. I haven't had any
problems since. Now I wonder if they were putting more than 10 cc of water in .
