I pray for your recovery and commiserate with you. I had a Foley catheter in overnight after some prostate surgery. The next day, the doctor told me to count to three and he would remove it. He got to two and then yanked with all his might, like he was starting a lawnmower. I guess it hurts less that way, or at least for less time.
Ohh I remember the Foley. After colon surgery. We must have had the same Doctor. Mine had been in for a two weeks tho. Thought I had blocked that memory.
The worst part was when I would walk to the bathroom and forget I had it in. I never went too far. Talk about an immediate U turn.
