    When Dr. Lenherr was unable to get me cathed, she got two more doctors to come in and try. When they failed, no one explained to me that they were going to give me a permanent cath that would require me to wear a bag day and night. I do not know if there would've been other options available to me because I was not told until the very end that I was going to be wearing a bag until they could get me in for the surgery. I really would have liked to have been given the opportunity to discuss all available options for my care until surgery.
