I'm Sandra and I'm in love with my life.
“I’m a very busy person and a very social person.” On a normal day, Sandra rows for 2–3 hours before going to work, then she says, “I go home to be a mommy. It’s very important that I can fully focus on what I need to do.” For Sandra, that means not worrying about when and if she needs to self-catheterize. When she started cathing, she says she often have to guess when to do it.
“The longer I delayed, the more I might have a leak. I was getting embarrassed and tired of being self-pitying.” Sandra has since started using GentleCath™ with FeelClean Technology™ and, she says, has implemented a regular routine that gives her the confidence to get on with life. She catheterizes 3–4 times in the day – before she gets in the boat, before she goes to work or a long meeting or social event, and before she goes home, in case she gets caught in traffic and twice at night.
"It has really taken away the stress and has changed a lot for me." It's tips such as these that Sandra shares in her work supporting people who are new to cathing.
