I pretty much levitated!

(10,366 posts)2. In 2021 my bladder wasn't emptying. Urine was backing up into my kidneys.
When they put in the catheter, it all came out in a rush. All 2105 ccs. The average bladder holds 400-600 ccs.

...they got 3 litres. Nearly killed my kidneys. DID kill the muscles in my bladder. In hospital tonight with a new Foley, trying to drain all of the blood clots from using intermittent catheters.
Going to rely on catheters for rest of life
Sub-optimal.
