It's Out
Ah- the wonder that is LRMC. Upon check in at radiology this morning I was told a machine was broken and there would be a delay... as I was NOT going to reschedule- I bit my lip and took a seat. After 25 minutes, I opted to go ask the lady at the counter how much longer, and I told her how incredibly uncomfortable I was with a catheter jammed in me whilst sitting on her hard chairs. She must have called somebody, because surprisingly the tech came and talked to me, and got me back within 10 minutes. Jammin'!
It was a long and uncomfortable process with my big bare ass on an ice cold x-ray table- as they couldn't seem to get the foley disconnected to inject the contrast material into my bladder. They tried really hard not to pull it- but it got pulled, and I jumped, it got twisted and I jumped, it got pulled again and I let a "Oh, Shit" slip... But hey- I saw my bladder on TV today! How fucking cool is that? Then they took the Cath out. It hurt like a muthafucker- but it's out! Yay!
Yes I am still hurting. In fact, I am suddenly more acutely aware of the soreness and pain in my pelvic region. My plans? Percocet and a hot bath! Been wanting to get my ass in the tub since I got home from the hospital- and now that there is no bag'o'piss to contend with I think I shall. Just pray I don't drown from falling asleep in the water. :)

God damn, and I thought I was having a shit day. At least I can pee without pain. Something to remember.

Yay for no smelly catheter! A bath is the perfect reward for such agony.

Wow, I did not know they sent people home with catheters! Ugh.
I almost wish I could get a hysterectomy. I'm chicken though, I think I might want to try that ablation. I have to see a specialist first. Actually, I have to get insurance first.

progress!
I'm glad you are making progress!
Oh recovery sucks, in any case. A month from now you will have a hard time believing you survived it.
eek.
