One other person had mentioned that after removing the catheter, they did a test to make sure that things are still working correctly. It would be interested to hear from you what happens, What kind of test they run, if any.

My dismissal nurse was giving me instructions about bowels. “Do not strain” about lifting”Do not strain” etc etc. Bowel function returned and pain subsided. 10days later surgeons nurse removed saline water from the catheter 30cc was the magic number. I thought she was prepping me for the surgeon to remove it. Suddenly without notice she ripped it out. Surprisingly little pain and no injury.Her notes said cath removed in normal manner. Just my experience.

Well, the money from the lawsuit should make you happy🤣🤣…
Just kidding - you brought up a specific concern and they addressed it - relax,

Hi I’m an RN and have the cancer. You are completely sutured where the gap was closed. Some is for patient comfort as it would burn.
Also, decrease your risk of a UTI by length of time. So, I’m sure it’s not their first rodeo and there is clinical science and best practice will always prevail.
