Urologist Tomorrow

I am hoping this catheter will be removed for good. Inflamed prostrate gland usually shrinks back to normal in 1 to 2 weeks after appendicitis. This is really unpleasant.  The only good side is there are no nighttime needs to urinate. The downside: carrying around a reservoir when you go to bed and get up and a leg bag during the day,  both which require periodic emptying. You will remember the leg bag because it is like wearing a 1 pound weight on your leg after a while.

From watching TV ads, it appears that there are people who have a permanent recurring need for catheters. I cannot imagine what would preclude surgery to fix whatever underlying condition has put them in that state.

UPDATE: Catheter removed.
