Tricia
Urinary Retention Patient
"Because I am no longer dependent on self catheterization, I have the freedom to go where I want – when I want – for as long as I want – because I'm not in constant fear of 'what if I can't go?'”

Beckie
Urinary Retention Patient
"I can do almost anything now – go for 10 mile jogs, lift weights without leaking, wear a bikini, golf, and eat and drink normally. I can make it all the way through a trip to the grocery store without a bathroom break and I no longer have to keep catheters in my purse, at work, or in the car."

Ron
Urinary Retention Patient
"I'm from northern Minnesota and I love to be outdoors, but boating and fishing became difficult and embarassing. I love to travel, but the schedule uncertainties made it too difficult. Besides, I practically would have needed an extra suitcase to carry all my cathing supplies."
