Cabo saga continues!

After getting the catheter out at noon yesterday I never urinated. Hit the emergency room at midnight until 4 this morning. Catheter is back, I have very severe urinary infection. Am now on hold trying to clear out the infection with new meds. I feel great but obviously am not. S--- happens, wish me luck, I'll try to keep you posted.

Sorry to hear that, I hope you get better soon and good luck.

Etan, I hope they get you fixed up before your upcoming trip...

Etan,
I hope it wasn't me that put the old "urinary jinx" on you. Is it more painful to put in than remove? Sorry for asking personal questions, but I think all us guys including myself are afraid of having something injected into our manly hood. Hopefully you had a female nurse. I wouldn't let a male nurse come near me. I think they are all a little light in the loafers.

It is about an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10 as far as pain. This was tougher than the first time because the uretra was already inflammed. This time a nurse did it. Male or female it didn't matter who did it because I was hurting bad enough that I would do it if I knew how. Just lying around today hoping the meds start clearing it up.

Etan,
I"m no doctor, but here's some advice. For God's sake, don't eat any asparagus. Ever noticed how bad your pee smells after eating that stuff. I bet if you ate a big batch of asparagus right now, you would be peeing a stream of liquid fire.

Good luck and I'm glad to hear that you had a female do the honors.

Just back from urologist. He gave us the go on our cruise next week. I'll stll have the catheter but he gave me a leg bag that will fit under my clothes. I feel like a gunslinger with it strapped on my leg. It maytake a month of meds to cure everything up but I feel a lot more secure after visiting with him. Life is good again!

Hey, thanks for the picture. That makes me feel better already. I don't even remember that, what was the date? I guess I have been out there too many times. As soon as I get better I'm going out and refresh my tuna supply. Thanks again.
