Hi everyone, ian here this time, thanks for all your support.
Wow what can I say? had surgery no real problems, a week later I had my drain yanked out by the nurse and it hurt as if it had hit my bladder and I was quite ill over night and felt the need to pee in the morning despite catheter in, that morning they took my catheter out and I had to pee a couple of times, no problems so far, not feeling too bad considering the big op. Passed pee a few times and they said they were happy as I had passed enough pee, would I like to go home, Wow what a suprise, you bet I wanted to go home.
That evening went home about 6pm then the trouble started I had urge to pee but found it just wouldn't come, suffered for two weeksin pain not being able to go and then the Dr said best fit a catheter in, I didn't like that one bit.
Anyway the update to my story is that I still have this catheter in and oh what a relief it is, I am now waiting to go to out patients (urology dept) to see if they know whats going on, I am scared that they take the catheter out and nothing worksi they will want to put it back in, funny thing is, before when I wanted to go I had pain but I couldn't go, now they want me to train my bladder useing the tap on my catheter instead of the bag they said wait until you get pain but I have no feeling what so ever of it being full so I just empty it every hour or so.
I am so scared of all this stuff and don't like them poking about, I'm a reall baby, Will my bladder work again when the catheter is taken out? it's been in an extra two weeks now after being out about two weeks, My op was on the 23/Jan, I am hoping this extra time will help it cure....Any bodies thoughts on this?
This is putting me off going in for the reversal and J pouch op
Feel almost normal now except for new stoma bag, and this bloomin catheter is worrying me and uncomfortable.
Thanks everyone your a great bunch:heart:
