Damn and I thought it was dissolvable
Listen carefully to what is said, quite often you can hear what is not being said
The joy of correcting a mistake can bring pain to another
You have to take the saline out of the little balloon that is inflated inside your bladder first otherwise that "pull" will do more than just hurt a little and feel weird! Still it's not hard, you just attach a syringe (sans needle) to the part of the catheter made for that and extract said saline, then you pull it out. Gently please!
I think that is called the Foley Catheter with the liquid filled bulb on the internal end to keep it in place until ready for removal. I had mine removed after my prostrate removal by a nurse in the doctor's office. Yes, it does field weird as they slowly pull it out for all of the about 2 seconds that it takes! Good luck, just one more inconvenience along the road to being oneself.
Yes a small price to pay. Yeah they kept calling it a foley, I already had one taken out and another put back in, out is the easy part. In sucks!
Very happy for you, April! Hopefully things are going better for you this many days on.
Wow. The day has come. Best wishes for a quick recovery.
Hope you are having a speedy recovery! It must be quite a joy to have reached "the mountaintop!" :-)
