> ... Foley catheter ... constant [UTI] ...
I have managed to self-insert a Foley for years without an UTI. I do
it by drinking ~15 glasses of water each day and by drinking a large
glass of 27% cranberry juice each morning. It has its downside - I
empty a liter leg bag two to three times a day and still put almost
two liters into the bed bag. An upside - I don't get up during the
night.

Jude,
I used to have to do the digital stimulation and my early months of
TM. Yes it is very unnatural feeling to lay in the bed on your
side, waiting to use the bathroom. Sometimes I would have to get
the Enemee suppository. Thanks to gravity and my diet, I am able
to use the bedside commode. Though I have the bowels master, the
bladder thing is a whole different subject for me. I have a Foley
catheter in constantly have a urinary track infection. Tomorrow, I
have an appointment for the urologist to complain about another UTI.
