I know exactly what you're talking about Dave, the same thinghappened to me about a year ago and my mom had to learn veryquick how to change my catheter, since the nurse who used to change it for me couldn't come right away, but it felt horrible, Ithought I was going to die too. I'll never let that happen again.

I called my visiting nurse who does monthly changes for me and she heard the stress in my voice. She was here in about the longest 45 minutes I have ever spent - well with maybe 1 exception of when they inserted my traction in '67. She swapped out my tube and I felt instant relief from the pounding head and gut crushing pressure. AD is certainly nothing to mess with. My sympathies to any who have to deal with AD on a regular basis. AZDAVE
