-Rough night last night. Not pain-wise at all, just couldn't sleep. I tried to sleep in bed but my back was just so achy I ended up back in the recliner. From 1:30 to 3:30 am I tried everything to relax and fall asleep. Finally fell asleep about 4. Don't know why last night was so different.
-On the positive side I am passing gas and having small bowel movements. Yeah for the small victories!
-Cather discomfort greatly reduced. I guess my body is finally accepting it.
-No pain defecating.
-Walking a bit and will walk even more today. It makes me feel a lot better.
-Still taking tylenol, just not as often. Every 5 hours or so.

You’re doing great! I had the same experience with sleep. I attributed it to the anesthesia working out of my body and the lack of normal activity. It should get better.
Seeing that catheter hanging out of your penis is a trip isn’t it? At least it won’t be there long and when you can sleep you’re not interrupted by having to get up to pee!
