YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!! WE REACHED THE SAME CONCLUSIONS AS YOU DID AND WE ARE GOING TO GIVE THE CONDOM CATHATHER---A TRY. PARKINSON, OF COURSE IS THE REAL PROBLEM--HE IS SO SLOW AND CANNOT REACH HIS URINAL FAST ENOUGH----ANYMORE. In a message dated 6/20/2013 11:00:19 P.M.

Have diapers actually caused sores, or is this something the cg thinks MIGHT happen? If the latter, then why not give it a try? And what's the problem with the external catheter? Infection? Is that also a MIGHT happen issue that could be avoided with care and vigilance? Sounds like the doctors and the cr are saying "no" but offering no solutions. In the meantime, it's you and your husband struggling with wet clothing and bedding, and losing healing, restorative sleep. There are health consequences of sleep deprivation—no maybe about it. Can you tell them loud and clear that you need help. If they won't address your needs, find doctors and a cg who will work with you. If you have other family members who can help you navigate this situation, enlist their aid. It is so important that you take care of yourself.
