what is a PMNR doc? When you used a night bag you must have used a floley.
Also, when you capped off the s pubic, did you use a reg cath to drain it
intermittently? Also, where did you have these surgeries? I am in RI sorry to
keep asking, it is confusing. I read online that with a supra pub you
Hey Shirley, I actually capped mine off and drained it periodically -
trying to sustain some bladder capacity. It was tiny though, and only
could hold about 100-150 cc's before I had to empty it. I did use a night
