I can certainly see where it would be a very serious problem. I never knew such a thing existed either. I can certainly see where it would be a very serious problem.

When Tom was in rehab, they gave us a business card to hold onto and let any doctor read when we have to go to the ER. I still don't believe that they quite understand it then, but at least we've tried to educate them.

Tom's cath is a suprapubic catheter, which was surgically inserted below his belly button and above his pubic bone. It tracks directly into his bladder. Although this doesn't prevent irritation and infection, it helps other issues that could occur from the 'old fashion track' of a catheter.

I mean, I knew tom had bladder issues becuase of the injury, but I had no idea that Autonomic Dysreflexia even existed. I understood though, that having a cath in all the time cause irritation and infection. Is that a problem as well? I never once new it could ever be that serious.
