Thank you.
Thank you for responding Eric. A ileo-conduit is a urinary diversion they
use the last 6 inches of the small intestine to make the stoma and they
bring the ureters into that stoma that put urine in the ostomy bag instead of
a
bladder. I received in 86 when chemotherapy was not working with by
bladder cancer. They did not want to make a artificial bladder, because of my
level of care. You have to characterize yourself from what I could understand
by his description.

Back when i always battled them, my docs always required a culture to know
what drug to use. I've used Cipro alot, Bactrim some, Levaquin some,
never heard of penicillin being used.
Have no idea what illeo-conduit is lol.

Subject: [QUAD-L] UTI antibiotics to use and treatment
My Nurse Took a Culture in the Stoma Last Week. The Pharmacy Called and
Said They Were Sending a Penicillin, Which I Have Been Allergic to for Years
and Would Have Died If I Had Not Gotten to ER in Time for Drugs to Open up
My Airway.
Then They Changed It to Bactrim. Today I Became Really Cold and Chilling
with a Fever. I Called the On-Call Doctor and they gave me Cipro. They
always give me generic drugs.
They Gave Me a New Doctor When My Previous Doctor Became a Hospitalist..
What are all of you given for UTIs and do any of you have iIleo- conduit.
It seems like I can read more than I should.
My previous nursing agency was not doing me cultures the right way. They
couldn't find another nurse to replace her when she went to another job. The
agency would not give her the right kind of red catheters to check my
ostomy stoma. I then had to wait several weeks to see my doctor because she
would not write new orders until she saw me and she was going to be out of
town. And she did not give the orders to the new agency. I don't think they
know the needs a quadriplegic.
I would appreciate any suggestions and information.
Dana
