I've only had this thing for about 3 1/2 weeks and it's been trial and error. I thought it might have been partly clogged so I had it changed which scared the pee out of my aid and although it helped but didn't stop the leaking. I have an appointment with my urologist in 2 days so I should get

Mark, I employed the same techniques that John has discussed. Condom catheter until the bladder spasms subsided. Larger catheters do help. I personally use a 22 now, it doesn't take off and it doesn't become clogged nearly as easy as the other ones. Quadius On 6/30/08, Mark Jackson [EMAIL

And I agree with you 100% Quadius. There is no difference between Medicare and the Federal government. Medicare is operated BY THE FEDS while Medicaid is state and county. WITH MediCARE being federal... it is just one big bureaucracy. And anyone who works for the government has their own
