I'm having jaw surgery in 2 weeks. The only thing that bothers me about the whole thing is the near certainty of having to have a catheter.Friday, they threatened me with a catheter if I couldn't "find" 650cc more in my bladder to empty into the container by midnight. I was ready to force Mrs. VJ to contribute some if I ran short. I whizzed 750cc into it and had that puppy on the counter, displayed like The Stanley Cup for all them to see. I love hospitals.
Good luck.
They used to bother me greatly. Without TMI, the urologist said that I was more "nerve rich" than average in that area. I underwent a microwave procedure to alleviate BPH about eight years ago, and one of the side effects was to denervate the urethra to some degree, so it's no longer agony as it used to be...
I'm just hoping it goes in once I'm under and that I get someone gentle and caring when it's time for removal. My wife didn't think that it was as funny as I did when I quipped, "I want someone with a slow hand, I want someone with an easy touch...."
