I forgot one step: Multiple ultrasound scans of the bladder. Not painful, but a hassle to go in to get smeared with jelly and told you have too much urine in the bladder and need to be re-catheterized or learn how to self-catheterize.

The best part of the whole week was when I was wearing a 2 liter cath bag and slept non-stop for eight hours for the first time in YEARS!
