    About this ebook

    So, you're stuck with a catheter. Now what? Generally, the doctor sends a patient home with very little explanation on how to make this device comfortable and not inconvenient. This is one man's story about coming to terms with the catheter, learning how to care for the device and himself, so life isn't a constant misery. Learning how to carry the right things, plan ahead, add the appropriate lubrication, and keep things clean helps make living with your catheter as comfortable as possible. This book provides the knowledge that will allow anyone to stay in control of their catheter experience instead of the other way around.
