But they are easier to keep clean. If I didn't have one, I'm not sure I could stand living. The idea of being in a wet diaper is appalling.

Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2013 08:41:14 -0600 To: wheelch...@aol.com SP tubes are NOT supposed to reduce infections. They actually increase them bc u have a non-sterile foreign body in ur body. Every urologist will tell u that with an SP tube it is impossible NOT to have an infection 100% of the time. You just don't treat them unless you are symptomatic (fever/sweating).

Standing therapy helps to empty the bladder and reduces the chance of infections, as urine doesn't pool when standing. An acidic bladder also helps to reduce the chance of infections.

Hoping he can eventually go back to a condom cath---less infection and maybe this terrible and constant burning since 2006 will stop. It rules our life.

Been very rough and scary. Today was the best day he's had in two weeks though. :) All my best, Gentrie Pool On Nov 28, 2013, at 10:17 PM, Gmail <bobbiehumphre...@gmail.com> wrote: I'm still here stuck in bed, my 9th week or 10th depending on how you look at it.
