RALP plus 12 days and Foley Catheter removed this morning at 930AM.  Good riddance.  Yes.. leakage.. but I can make a stream when I go to the toilet.  woohoo!  Now I will begin montoring the leakage.  Doing the kegals and walking.

I will keep you updated.

Had my cath in for five weeks and didn't miss it a bit.

Still trying to figure out where my head was when I wore boxers to the docs office. Leaked all over myself the rest of the day.

Ricky - glad you got rid of the snake - all the best with becoming dry and keep up the kegels - but don't overdo it!

Hi Rick,

Yes, I ( and most of the guys here) know all about that "weird" feeling which is quickly replaced by a great feeling of new won freedom. As soon as you can throw away those pads, you'll really experience that new freedom :-). Just be patient, do your kegels and walk as much as possible.

All the best to you.

Yes I lost the remaining humility when the cath was taken out. I can laugh at anything now. Good to hear Rick.
