This, "just" happened to me. I have very litlle access to Healthcare. As I change my own cath. Also, it is not the first time it happened. Using strait, in and out catheters is the prefered technique. For any Nero Bladder condition. Rejection is caused by your bladder shrinking. using a clamp. Exersise a rutine; Where you release the clamp every hour, at first. In a day or so, you should be able to increase the interval.
