Hi Folks
After a very stressful 7 weeks with a catheter in and three hospital stays and various problems it finally stopped bleeding about a week ago and I had a cystogram scan today and they said that it has healed. And I can go back tomorrow and have the Catheter removed .. I can't tell you how happy I am .. I shall go tomorrow with a happy heart and a long list of questions for the experts
I'd like to thank everyone who offered me support in here when I was going through a very difficult time
Of course now I have worries about it detaching if I make any sudden movements ... but that is another problem for another day and is on my list
That’s great news. I hope all goes well once the catheter is removed.
Hi Nick
Great news - hope all goes well once the catheter has been removed. It's the start of the next part of your journey to full recovery.
Kind Regards
Brian.

The catheter is out .. they did say that there was still a tiny hole, but they were happy for the catheter to come out as that would probably help the hole close up ......... I'm still a bit delicate around my perineum but the nurse said that was normal and it would ease ..... hooray .. onwards and upwards
Great news. It sounds like you’ve really been through the mill but hopefully you’re on the way now. Really happy for you.
Hi Nick - It finally sounds like a plan is working out for you - I hope it goes well - I know what it's like to get rid of a catheter - i was the proud owner of one for over 10 months!!
Kind regards
