Don't sweat the small stuff! It'll be over and out before you know it!

Thanks for the responses all.. As I said it was a 'silly' concern and I'm grateful for all the informative and great answers I received - regardless of how small the issue was it put my mind at ease and isn't it wonderful to have such a forum to ask these things? You guys rock!

Thumbs up guys and catheter
The catheter was put in when I was out for the sugry.
So did not know that it was in till afterward.
Came out very easy too, I just relaxed no big deal.
The only problem was that they had to dump the bag every hour or so because it was full .

ok ScottRider. like watergirl said the catheter is the least of your problems.

They didn't wanna take my catheter out cause I was dumping so much fluid! The doc made them, said it would be good for me to keep getting up to go to the bathroom, and for 3 days I had to go every 30 minutes!
