My husband had his radical prostatectomy surgery yesterday afternoon and I collected him from the hospital this morning. He has been understandably v tired and rather groggy all day, and spent most of it lying on the sofa resting - only moving to empty his catheter bag and to sit up to the table to have some soup and a roll. He was released with just paracetamol for pain relief.
My question is, his catheter leaked slightly just now - is this normal? It hasn't leaked all afternoon, so hopefully this is just an isolated incident. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks
