Your Mom is an Angel. That deed was not easy from all sides of the issue. I'm sure you were barking out orders while she was doing her best. Men, come with instructions and a landing strip. Women sitting have a fort with bunkers all the way around. Again, not an easy task, but I'm glad everything worked out. Best Wishes In a message dated 3/11/2013 3:49:10 P.M.

Yes I would normally agree but today we had no choice but to deflate the balloon and get it out while I was sitting in my chair. My mom is 68 and recently had wrist surgery (no possible way to get me to the bed and keep me elevated because of blood pressure) so sometimes, you do what you have to and clean up later J From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 11, 2013 3:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] AD Nicki, I'm glad to read your story ending and hopefully the issue gets better. Remember, when changing an indwelling cath... even in an emergency...... one has to maintain a sterile or clean area to remove the old cath and allow urine to pass and then install a new sterile cath. I'm sure you will agree with that. Best Wishes Just wanted to share that if no urine is leaking out remove the catheter because it’s stopping up the body’s natural route for urine to come out! May have saved me from stroking out today!! Nicki c5/6
