Those of us with paralysis often develop AD (Autonomic dysreflexia) when our bladders are full. Needing “to cath,” means that we urgently need to use a catheter to empty the bladder.

Autonomic dysreflexia (AD) is a dangerous syndrome involving an overreaction of your autonomic nervous system. It causes a sudden and severe rise in blood pressure, in addition to other symptoms. People who’ve had a spinal cord injury are most at risk. AD requires immediate treatment.
