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.

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.
