Re: FW: [QUAD-L] Superpubic
Wearing my abdominal Binder is not a problem at all, but it might be because I am extremely tall and have a pretty long torso. However, you might want to try wearing it about an inch above the suprapubic, if that's possible.

FW: [QUAD-L] Superpubic
Large bladder: The medication Oxybutin, I think, has shrunk my bladder to about 60cc. It has also shrunken by never having more than several cc of urine as it drains spontaneous.

After resisting the SP for 15 ears one was placed last year. In this time my UTI's have gone from say 3 in 2 months, to not one since getting it. My only major problem is to wear my abdominal binder which helps many issues. Getting use to cosmetics was no issue.

RE: [QUAD-L] Superpubic
I know that there are urologists at Craig Hospital in Denver Colorado that know all about SCI. That is where I had my suprapubic procedure done.

I have had a supra-pubic for about 7 years now but before that we did intermitton every 6 hours or so.So I'm not sure of that one.
