Nervous one: Get those meds Jack is talking about. Also, next time they catheterize, ask for a smaller one (in diameter). They do come in a variety of sizes and the garden hose is not necessary in most cases. The glass shards become something of the norm for awhile I hate to tell you. But you do get used to it, usually just after you become a soprano! Some clinics suggest avoiding caffeine as it irritates. Also to drink cranberry juice, though i think it becomes a question of trial and error and you do what works for you. A warm bath, a heating pad, might help.
Glad to hear the uro appointment is earlier. Then you’ll know what you’re dealing with. All the best in the meantime – and try not to get too freaked out with the blood. It is startling to say the least, but you may find you get used to that as well for awhile. Hope not, but all the best to you.
