Hey, You got thru it - congrats! Be sure you put a little vaseline where the catheter enters the penis - sometimes a little blood or discharge can cause it to adhere.
Also, I urinated in the DRs office after catheter removal - a few tiny clots came out but nothing major. On the way home I said to my wife, who was driving, “Gee, I really have to pee but I can hold it”. At least I thought I could…I pissed all over my seat, sat in soaking wet pants all the way home. It was a huge wake-up call showing me that things were gonna be a bit different going forward.
Just might want to wear a full Depends on the way home….just sayin’!
