No game 14,437 Posted April 1, 2013 May I ask why everyone is so scared of a catheter?? Is there something I'm missing? Just curious... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glostaff 40 Posted April 1, 2013 I did not have a catheter but sure wanted one! The first night was awful! I had my surgery at 1:00 p.m. and up until 4:00 a.m. the next morning I was dry heaving so much I would wet the bed! Plus I had to use the bathroom so badly that I couldn't wait for the nurse to come unhook me! If offered, I would gladly accept one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glostaff 40 Posted April 1, 2013 I have had several over the years for various surgeries/procedures and none of them have ever hurt. Good luck! 1 Super Echelon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted April 1, 2013 I just don't want it to hurt ! Well I could say don't worry... That will be the least of your pain! But I'm feeling nice today!! Hehe.. I had one.. but the thing is they put it in after I was out and they removed it before I woke up Easy! No big deal... 1 Sadtosaygoodbye reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
natedinsmoor2 48 Posted April 1, 2013 Okay thanks well I'm only 15 so that's another reason I wondered Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasnt as concerned about pain because I knew Id have a 'magic button', I was more concerned with urinary tract infections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted April 1, 2013 My word your young!! Well then you get the extra extra nice me! It will be fine if you doctors use one its going to be a very minor and quickly removed thing. Actually I didn't even know I had one until the nurse told me if you don't pee soon then we are putting it back in! 1 Sleevedintx reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colemon70 87 Posted April 1, 2013 I did. I'm the biggest baby ever. It didn't bother me at all. Except I could feel it when I walked. It didn't hurt though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
