I've heard that if he takes a bathroom break, that he will not be allowed to continue speaking.
So I'm assuming he must be using a a catheter?
If so, his effort is even more praiseworthy.

(2,432 posts)I assumed the same - what the gays call a "Texas catheter" -- external only. Think condom and tube. More capacity than a diaper, depending on setup.
Not sure if the rest of the world calls it that, and yes, I live an interesting life.
I do recall a mention of an internal catheter that someone used once, but I think it was the Texas state rep?
