Will I feel like flying home later the same day or next day? I have to fly into town the day before for treatment. Then I have treatment at 8am. I'll have a catheter for a few days. Will I feel like flying home later that day? Or the next day. Thanks folks.

@tcan2 I had half my prostate ablated in Dec 2025. No way would I have been able to drive home same day after the procedure. I was still out of it due to the anesthesia, and seeing double and triple not to mention the uncomfortable feeling of have a catheter for the first time in my life. Wife drove back home, about a 2 hour drive. I slept the entire way.

Real good info on catheter so far, however, many people have catheter for 10 to 14 days like I did, so one does have to plan around that. You might want to call and ask what they say how long the catheter will be in and since I had a lot of BPH it was in there awhile. I heard some do fly home or try doing activities, but I don't think I could have done that post Tulsa. I rented an AirBNB for the time I had catheter and found what worked is to catch up on streaming TV shows and so on. I guess it varies widely and does depend on how much ablated or ablation fraction, and how much BPH one has.
