My doctor today suggested to use a. Catheter as a temp solution to go on a trip. He understands my challenges being in a wheelchair and leaving home to travel to Europe to visit my husbands family.
I would like to go but am very concerned as I am very prone to infections - got an infection while at rehab a couple of years ago when they tried to attemp to train me to self cash,one quick attempt that was difficult ( they said due to my anatomy) and I got an infection then.
I have no use of my legs and some trouble with weakness in hands. The doctor said he would have a nurse come to my house to insert and I could remove in 2-3 weeks when I got home.
This is not something I want to do but figured I should understand more first.
How would I transfer ? Sleep ? Empty ?
What type would this be ? Not foley I don't think ?
Thanks for any help.
