Re: Question/leg braces and catheter

Hey Kay and group! Sorry I've been MIA, but I'm in my last three
weeks on school before I get my bachelor's, so I've been pulling my
hair out!! Anyway, I use an indwelling foley and occassionally get up
in my leg braces with it. I am a higher level para, so I just use my
braces for exercise. My braces are open in the front, so I just move
my leg bag to the front of my calf and it works pretty good. And I
love having an indwelling. I will suggest that you get on a
profilactic antibiotic to prevent UTI's because you will get more
with an indwelling. Aside from an occassional leaking in a night bag
when it gets too worn, I don't have any problems. Best of luck :)
