My Dad was once hospitalized and had a catheter. He wasn't entirely in his right mind and kept pulling the catheter out. When it came out it made a popping sound, like the one you make when you pop your finger against the inside of your mouth, against the cheek.

Cringe.

Well I hooked up my leg bag, and put on clean clothes, and went to check out a Smart Car. If you ever want to know how a pair of brown shoes feels at a black tie affair, show up at a Mercedes-Benz dealership, in blue jeans, sneakers, and a base ball cap. I got to go sit in the Smart Car area of the dealer ship ground floor. It had one smart car in it. All the other cars were spiffy Mercs. I did steal a diet Dr. Pepper from the Mercedes treat and waiting area though. When I finally got home, got off the bus, and was walking through the parking lot, the strap on my leg bag let loose. I learned some new athletic maneuvers and ways of walking until I got back to my apartment. I probably looked like I had a bloody squirrel up my pant's leg.

Sorry, but your mention of the squirrel up the pant leg was just too good a straight line to ignore. :lol:

I'm voting for Rod as toughest. Two TURP's 6 months apart beats me. I've had surgeries at 6 months apart but they were for different things.
My urologist may drill for urine in the next week or so to bypass my prostate. I get the feeling that the Doc thinks that's no big deal though.
Rod, do you think middle school students would get a kick out of me playing bagpipe tunes on a urine collection bag? I thought I'd start with "Scotland the Brave?"

Well the urologist prescribed me some do it your self catheters. They are single use and reduce the chances of infection. I've been doing it for about 3 weeks and it seems to be working out OK. I can go 4 to 6 hours between drains and I've been catching up on my sleep deficit.
The Doc says there is a good chance my bladder will recover and I'll be able to pee on my own after a while.
So far I haven't had to use my soft face hammer to get them in far enough. :mrgreen:

Reminds me of the story about the three hunters trading stories. First one said the most painful thing I ever remember was when I peed a kidney stone the size of a pea. Second one said that's nothing, I once had my hand broken with a hammer. Third guys says you're both pikers. I was out hunting years ago and had to take a crap so I dropped trous and squatted. Didn't know I was right over a bear trap. The other two guys say GAWD that must have been painful. He said, that was nothing, you should have heard me scream when I hit the end of that chain.
