I mean you get sorta used to it, but I'd have checked out at 3 weeks, I think.

When they put in the catheter, it all came out in a rush. All 2105 ccs. The average bladder holds 400-600 ccs.

Wife found an elastic leg band with a pocket for the pee bag . it does a far better job holding the bag than those damn silly strings.

Having one be one undone when sleeping is ........uncomfortable.

...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.
