It gets better-good luck with the recovery!
I'm now two weeks in. My big takeaways;
• Eat high fiber...smaller meals more often. High fiber is key.
• To avoid butt pain with lots of going, use a wet wipe first, then a rinse with the HappyPo ($14) and then a wipe with TP to dry.
• I moved on within a couple of days from pull-up briefs to just pads, but everyone is different. Post catheter removal, I find that if I drive or do a lot of walking, I leak a lot vs. not much at all when I'm resting. So, I'll likely wear a pull-up plus a pad inside moving forward just to be safe.
Good luck with your recovery!
