When it came time to remove it, it was stuck and wouldn't come out. There I am being led around the room like a dog on a leash. The doctor concluded that he must have caught the catheter with a stitch and I'd need a couple of more days for the stitch to dissolve. Removed it myself that weekend.

I remember I had a day bag strapped to my calf, and a larger night bag. The night bag, IIRC, sat in a clean basin next to the bed.<br /><br />After a week, they went to do some imaging to see how well stuff had healed. Disconnected the bag, connected me to something else, and pumped the bladder full of whatever fluid the needed. Bladder had shrunk quite a bit over the week, from disuse.lee n. fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01652025469454858807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-13817233517409052062021-07-14T07:07:53.886-05:002021-07-14T07:07:53.886-05:00Had to wear a Foley catheter for two weeks after p...Had to wear a Foley catheter for two weeks after prostate surgery. <br />Twelve years cancer free, yay me!<br />But I can certainly relate to this poor sod and his experience.Uncle Larhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008207593205949098noreply@blogger.com
