Marvel Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 Dean, not sure what is next. I'm sure they will check out what they removed. Not fond of the catheter. My doc is head of urology at Erlanger. At least I didn't get sick with the procedure. Robotic assisted, ten staples. Not very comfortable, but I've been up walking around the house and drinking lots of water. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Yes, the Foley (indwelling) catheter is no fun, unless you like to binge watch TV for a day or two at a time. Keep an eye on your testosterone level. It may get low and stay there. The main thing is that you have one less part to get cancer. Wishing you a quick and complete recovery. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJkizak Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 My catheter had three holes in it, one for injecting medicine, one for injecting air to inflate the internal air bag to keep it from falling out, and one to pee-pee. It was not a problem for a weeks time. When removed after the air was released it almost fell out with zero pain. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
