Re: [QUAD-L] 29th quad anniversary

2018-05-17 Thread Lori Michaelson
I was 15 when my accident happened. October 19th 1979. I am 38 1/2 years
post. I have been very fortunate until the last two years. Before that,
however, the worst things that have happened to me (and very very bad)
started by a doctor or nurse doing something wrong making me almost die or
put me in bed close to 3 years.

Now, I have been diagnosed with bladder cancer whereby the small tumor was
removed on the wall of my bladder but need to consider having my bladder
removed to avoid any cancer cells that can be lingering around spread and I
date my bladder or female organs. I was doing great until I no longer lived
with family of any kind.

[QUAD-L] When should a quad worrywith a foley

2018-05-17 Thread RONALD L PRACHT
 Ive had a foley catheter for approx.2.5 weeks. I started taking Flomax and it 
changed the color, then it started smelling( the urine) I felt kinda weak today 
and checked my temp and Im at 99.7. With a foley when should you get an 
antibiotic? is it normal to run with light fevers with a foley? this is new to 
me. Ive catherized or 20 years and rarely got an infection.
