Please keep your fingers crossed for me I'm going into hospital again tomorrow, and really really scared!

[directline]

They are going to remove the catheter and see what happens!

I feel as though I am going to sit an exam, if I manage to be able to go to the loo, then they are going to keep me in over night for observation and encouragement, if nothing happens, then I have to start self cathetering again!!!!(I'm so not happy with that)

So please please everyone keep your fingers crossed that all goes well.

and all because I had a minor op on my bladder and then got an infection! Its been a very long three and a half months!

Best of luck!

Best of luck.

Scary Mary....

good luck, hope all goes well

fingers crossed
Hope it all goes well

Thanks guys, I should be in bed as its a very early start tomorrow, have to be at the hospital by 8am and we live just under an hour away!(plus DH, wants to get to work on time and he works 40 mins in the opposite direction from our house!

Keep telling myself it cant get any worse!

Fingers crossed for you.

Good luck. I hope all goes to plan.

Hope all goes ok for you tomorrow, DL, and they get you sorted.
What time are you going in?

Sorry, just seen that you have posted that you are in at 8am. I only read the OP.
Good luck!

Have to be there for 8!

I'm really nervous, cant concerntrate on anything!

I can imagine you are very anxious, especially with all you have been through recently.
Hope it goes ok for you. I will be thinking of you tomorrow.

I keep thinking it cant get any worse and then something does! Cant believe I have agreed to self catheter thou, must be getting desperate!

Poor you, hope there is an end to this soon.
Thinking of you today.

I'm home!

Was really fed up and cheesed off as they took my catheter away and everytime I sat on the loo, NOTHING, 20 mins (approx) I would wet myself,

WELL the good news is...........................................................

Since being home, although I am still wetting myself, I HAVE WEE'D ON THE TOILET

I'm just so excited, it was only little and I havent managed another one, but it shows there is still some hope!

That's good news. Not that you're wetting yourself but that things are looking brighter iykwim!

Yes, it is in a funny kind of way - I think!

Just seems strange that its good news for wetting myself! At least my bladder is working somehow!

Well I'm glad to hear things are kind of improving, DL. Lets hope you have a normal strong bladder soon, and when you jump on that trampoline without wetting yourself, you will know it's all been worth it!!

Havent been able to wee sinceHad lots of accidents thou, Have spoken to my line manager about not going in tomorrow, feel really guilty, but what can you do when you have no control and you have to keep going to the loo every 15 mins!

Don't really know your full problems directline, but you have my sympathy and my good luck wishes.

Just don't go peeing yourself with the excitement of having the catheter removed...

Thanks nonametoday, I dont think I'm that excited!

Sounds like a step in the right direction. Not sure of your story but best wishes!!!

I'm sure A understood, DL. You can't attempt work just yet.

That should read go to the loo every 45mins (not 15!)

You should have seen the supplies they have sent me home with - 40 huge nappies, loads of inco pads, and loads of those netted knickers(which is quite good as I only had 3prs and had to keep washing them out!)

Mind you I wish I didnt need them, its like potty training all over again, this time its me!

Having a bit of a nightmare tonight! Have managed to wet myself 3 times in the last hour, think I'm going to have to self catheterise, obviously each time I must not be emptying my bladder, oh bloody hell, I'm so fed up!

Thats better rant over(sorry I dont like self catheters - infact I detest them- hence having the supra pubic inserted!)
