TMI! TMI! (Frightening mental images have befallen me.)

Oh My!

But that's the problem; I'm already er-regular!

Well, I hadn't really intended to get into the complications of my Foley catheter on this forum, but since you asked.....

Hehe! Wish all my patients were as good humored as you are in the post-op phase :) at least I know you are feeling better, or narcotics are effective ;)

NOT talking about your Foley Catheter, was alluding to something else, but
sounds like an interesting story ( I know, nurses are weird....)

You don't have a Nurse Jessica Smilie, do you? I will wait til you feel improved
for that one. :D:

I've been fortunate to have been relatively pain free throughout. After seventeen staples, I figured the least I could do was to keep the staff in stitches.

Two of the three charge nurses expressed regret when I left the hospital, so it looks like I'm funny even when mildly drugged.

Not all that gross (but the squeamish beware). The tech who was removing the staples from my lower abdomen kept fussing with a giant doily trying to "protect my modesty" (I think the phrase is), a location only inches away, and from which she would be removing the Foley in a few short minutes.

After a while, I just said, "Look, I know you only came to the Magic Kingdom to ride Space Mountain, but we all know the castle is right there in the middle of the park. It's not like we can pretend it's not there. I mean, how long have you worked in a urology office?"

We both promptly dropped both pretense and doily, but I discovered that removing staples did hurt a bit more when the tech and patient are both laughing.

for that one. :D:

No need for any such delay: :nursejes:

Great to hear you're mending well! Good wishes for a continuing recovery!!!
