Kelli,
I don't want to give everybody on the TM list a mental picture of me cathing, but here goes. I'm 6 years into TM and I still have trouble cathing on the toilet. Here's my secret: I am just tall enough that I can slide onto and sit on the bathroom vanity. I use a standing mirror to aim the catheter and just let it empty in the sink. Only my hubby knew I did this until I told my urologist. He laughed and said that about 75% of his female cathing patients do that. In the first year, which I spent mostly in bed, I used a male (longer) catheter and aimed it into a pail. I did it half-sitting with a mirror. As for gaining strength and mobility.....so much depends on how long TM has been there. I came a long way after the first year and find there are things I do now that I couldn't do a year ago. Good luck, Diane in Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
