The good news is that over the last couple of days things have definitely improved for me, and while flow is not as good as it was immediately following catheter removal [9 oz in 15 sec] it is definitely better now [8 oz in 16 sec] than it was before the procedure. Still some occasional pink right at the start but then mostly clear. I can tell the urethra is still healing as there is pain along the length when sitting down or bending forward to get up, and still some occasional burning and mild pain when urinating. No need for any pain relievers since the catheter removal. I have been walking every day since about day 4 with no observed adverse affect. I am encouraged by this progress.
