I still have the catheter in place since 9 Jan, but 2 days ago I started leaking around the head of my penis and the obstruction that was sticking out 1/4 inch beyond the tip of my penis disappeared. I feel as though the obstruction dissolved. My urine is now clear. No more cloudiness. My doctor is back in town and I have an appointment to see him Monday to remove the catheter and to see if I am voiding. Before this clog happened I was going to pee every 2 hours and I felt as though I was completely emptying my bladder. Never experienced the pain but just a burning sensation when I passed the scabs. I knew something was wrong when I felt that obstruction move down my urethra and plug me up on 9 Jan. There was no doubt about that feeling and then not being able to push it through. Not sure what it was, but like I said previously, I do believe it has dissolved. I will update Monday with results of my Void test and see if I can flow freely once again.

I had a 0800 appointment this morning. The doctor was not there but left instructions for the nurse to remove the catheter and do a voiding test. The nurse inserted 200ml of water into my bladder and then removed the catheter. I went to the toilet to pee then came back and she did the void test. Only 20ml left in my bladder so I am emptying my bladder. Like I said above, the blockage dissolved and I had no problem emptying. I am a happy camper for now!
