Perhaps a better title for this post would be "Foley Times Three" because instead of having one Foley for two or three weeks, I had three!   Foley has always come to visit me after I have had my Botox treatment for urge incontinence. When my procedure was complete, I heard the resident ask for...

    Hi, 

    My name is Jenny, and I just wanted to tell you to hang in there! I know what your going through. I have been self catheterizing for almost 20 years now, but I have spina bifida.

    It is WAY worse to have a Foley catheter though in my opinion because the are just so darn uncomfortable when they have to stay in there for long periods of time. I was just wondering though, instead of you having to use Foley catheters after your Botox have you ever considered just cathing yourself every couple of hours at home? That's what I do and although it is not at all comfortable... it IS WAY more comfy than a Foley.

    Well you might have a different circumstance that I am not aware of, but I just wanted to suggest this and hopefully try to save you some pain.

    Hope you are doing better.
