I cath twice a day, getting up and going to bed. I pull the cath out slowly, in tiny increments, to get the residual in the bottom of the bladder. Every once in a while my bladder will feel very sore and spastic. It usually lasts 3-4 days and gives me sweats and headache. I'll bet it is where the cath has irritated or caused a sore. I had never really thought of that before. I use Azo pills for the pain. They help but make you pee orange. I'm praying that I can maintain this routine for the number of days I have left. The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home today. Tis beautiful on my front porch! Health, happiness, love, and Gods blessings to all my courageous quad peeps. You are all heroes.
