Okay after removal of the cancer in the bladder the second time. I woke in the morning but did not urinate a few weeks later. A healing scab had come off and blocked the exit from the bladder I suspected. By ten that morning the discomfort was so bad off to the hospital for a catheter.

By the time I got to the hospital the pain was in waves. I told the nurse I had bladder work three weeks ago and I think the passage is obstructed. I could hardly stay still. In reply I got. I think you have kidney stones.

I said okay I have kidney stones but I really need a catheter bad. Well they contacted my uroligist.

The person said I have never put a catheter like this in before. It was the one with an air line in and a fluid input and return line. I told them to excuse the term but just screw in in. If not I will not be able to remain still enough for you to do it without major pain relief.As the bodies reactions to the pain were getting closer and closer together.

They kept me nine hours after and let me return home. The relief when that catheter got though the obstruction was unbelievable. My misteak of course was waiting too long before heading for the hospital.

I sound like a cry baby I know but you really do not want this type of discomfort. I too was well past the point of who put the catheter in.
