Default Fred Haise illness?

Great story. Note that Apollo astronauts did not use in-dwelling catheters but instead “Texas catheters”. That was a condom with a tube coming out the end. Haise and the others kept them on the whole flight due to a miscommunication. He ended up with UTI due to constant exposure to urine. The others were well on their way to the same condition.
