A warrant Officer I knew when in the Army, told me they pinned his willy to a board and he then had to watch as it was closely examined by a Consultant accompanied by a gaggle of female medical students.

The surgery was laparoscopic and no incisions were made anywhere near where the nurse shaved. I think they do that just for entertainment. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife brought snacks and electronics yesterday, I have my laptop now. I still want to go home, but I am also afraid of all of the bleeding. The experience has made me realize I cannot tolerate pain. My anxiety has been insane. My heart rate is usually in the 60s, yesterday shortly before an ultrasound, it was about 120. An ultrasound is harmless, but they were going to block my catheter to get my bladder to fill up. That terrified me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wanted to look for large clots that would need to be removed. They wanted it blocked for an hour so the bladder could fill. That's kinda what landed in in the hospital. When they did the surgery on Tuesday, they inflated the bladder, the bleeding hasn't stopped since. Initially they were just going to send me with a transport person, my super nice nurse came and unblocked it twice to allow some of the pressure to be relieved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onbike1939 Posted July 13, 2019 Share #27 Posted July 13, 2019 Yeah.....I know that this is scary, but I've found that the anticipation of pain is usually worse than the pain itself. I take it that you don't use blood thinners as I'm aware that this doesn't help the passing blood thing. I'd like to think that the op goes some way to lessen your problem and give you some relief....psychological and physical that is. You could do with a break.

Today seems likely, there is not a lot of doc / patient interaction in a hospital. I had more bladder surgery. 1 hour ago, onbike1939 said: Yeah.....I know that this is scary, but I've found that the anticipation of pain is usually worse than the pain itself. Not in this case. I have a tiny bladder. From what I understand most people can easily accommodate 1000 mls. I can hold about 200, and when it hits that points, the skin starts to crack open and bleed, and urine make it hurts even more. They needed to get a large clot out, so the catch 22 was they needed to keep filling and draining the bladder. It was not pleasant, but the clots came out.
