Being sick or getting hurt in Mexico is not fun. You're lucky you found a decent doctor to install the catheter. I understand that is very painful. Just wait until they pull it out. That is supposed to make tears come rolling down your cheeks. That grease they used in Mexico is probably dried up by now.

I was visiting a friend last year in the hospital. He got out of bed to walk to the window on the other side of the room. He forgot that he had a catheter installed that morning. Before he got to the window, the chord went tight. He grabbed his hoot and fell to the ground. The urine bottle carrier that was next to the bed came flying over like a boomerang. It was very painful for me just to watch him laying there with both hands on his crotch. I went to help pick him up, but didn't want to move for about thirty minutes. After the pain stopped I helped him back into the bed and told him he was lucky that they don't make those tubes out of sprecta.

I don't want to steal your thread, so I'll save some great injury stories from foreign countries for another time. Glad you made it back home in one piece and good luck on the removal of the tube. I'll be praying for you.
