Enjoying the great out-of-doors!

kevin, those are great ideas!  I agree, that getting out there and living life is what is important.  Sometimes I have to remind myself that no one actually ever died of embarrassment!!!!  My incontinence is complicated by the fact that my SCI was disease caused, and it is a chronic and progressive disease.  Treatment is really only management of symptoms, no cure, and the meds are almost as dangerous as the disease.  Because of extreme immune suppression, I cannot use either Foley or SPC or even ISC because of increased risk of infection.  My medications will have to be stopped if I must catheterize to avoid renal reflux--testing upcoming to determine if I truly have renal reflux as it appeared in cystoscopy.  If I stop meds, I am at risk of further paralysis if disease becomes more active.  Add to that issue my severe allergies to many antibiotics, and a serious UTI could be easily be the end of me.  Life is not fair.  I hope I don't have to choose between disease-modifying meds and renal health.
