Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How many have had a catheter?

You could throw it at somebody and call it a "protest".

I figured there would be a few people belonging to the catheter club on here.

Had one for my first knee replacement surgery.
Apparently they scraped the inside during the insertion, because I was passing blood in my urine. They wouldn't let me go home until it cleared up. It took three days.

Two years later, when I went in for the other knee, I asked the co-ordinating nurse if I could have a low-dose Viagra to make the job go easier.
I heard her drop the phone on the floor, LOL!

They spared me the catheter that time.

Once. I told my wife I like a woman holding my pecker....not that time.

1972 I was topping a tree when the branch I was standing on broke.
While I was unconscious, they removed my spleen, re attached my kidneys, transferred me to a hospital with a kidney machine, and operated on my left wrist for kidney machine connection.

Then I woke up and asked them to remove the catheter.
Then I started drinking water and pissing.
They operated on my left wrist and took out the kidney machine tubes.
I was transferred by ambulance back to the first hospital.
There was a retired army captain working there who was hiding in my room curtains. He said he was hiding from the head nurse and he remembered catheterizing me a week earlier.

Then I realized that the goldbricking orderly had installed the catheter incorrectly, causing me to be operated on.

Had a head-on MVA in 1991.
Lying in the ER with a broken, dislocated hip and a crushed heel. They have already cut my clothing off, I can't walk and I haven't peed in several hours.
I tell a tech, "I gotta pee! BIG time!"
A minute or two later, some rube comes in and starts shoving a catheter into place. 🤯 I peed all over him, the gurney, ran into the floor and still had plenty for the bag! LOL!

2015 - first thing was s prostate check. Offered the doctor a cigarette afterwards. Doc says every thing feels relatively normal, but here's a prescription for "finesteride".
Six months later, no change. Not better. Not worse.
To a urologist.
He signed me up for a "Flowometry Test"!
Totally awake!
No anesthesia, no nothing!
Insert catheter! 😖
Remove catheter! 😳
REinsert catheter! 🤯🤢
Fill bladder with fluid! 😖🥴
Allow bladder to drain. (whew!)
Finally remove catheter the LAST TIME! 🤯😳🥴

"You can get dressed."
Back in the dressing room, there is a toilet!
I STILL need to pee.
I'm standing in front of the toilet, business in hand when a feel my bladder tense and suddenly shove a load of molten lava down my urethra! 🤯🤬
MY PENIS IS ON FIRE!!!!!

Finally survive that little discomfort.
Doc says, "No problem with your prostate, but your bladder is small and weak."

Wife wants Starbucks. Fine, I need to pee again anyway.
Restroom at Starbucks is a repeat of the dressing room.
SOMEBODY STUCK A HOT BRANDING IRON TO MY (uh-huh!)!!!
Jiminy catwhiskers! DAMN that hurts!
For the next two days, any urge to urinate and I break out into a cold sweat! 😖

Since then, I've had a surgery that took some time.
I could tell, I was catheterized during the procedure!

As I age, I feel that little unpleasantry will occur again, but it damned sure won't be by choice!!!!!

Not yet.

I've had one

yes
asleep for the in
awake and screaming for the removal

Iv had a few do to surgery, was out when they were put in, but awake when they came out! Wishing you Luck my Friend!

Like a porcupine shoved backwards up your dick? That kind?

I had one for hip replacement surgery, put in while I was under anesthesia, removal was quick and easy hardly felt a thing when it was removed.

I had one after a 11mm kidney stone was blasted, Put in when I was out . When it was time for it to come out i lay on the bed and gritted my teeth and told the wife I’m ready. Now they told her to pull it out fast and by god she looked like she was pull starting a chainsaw . Honestly I had no pain on removal.Best of luck Hanco on your recovery .

Slumlord wins this thread if he post on it.

Campfire Friends,

I went for 76-years without ever experiencing having a catheter inserted into Old Hoss.

About two-years ago, the Covid vaccine literally killed my immune system and, as a result, I contracted double-pneumonia and fibrosis (in my case, extreme scarring of my lungs).

And, lucky me, I've spent about six loooong hospital stays since the beginning of my problems.

The last time I was in, about six-months ago, I was in horrible shape and they almost lost me several times.

Towards the tenth-day, they put me into a "chemically-induced coma" and I stayed there for quite a while (I never actually learned how long, except that my wonderful wife of 58-years came to the hospital and held my hand, while talking to me each and every day ... no, I couldn't hear her.

When I woke up, I had a catheter in my tally-whacker and was pissing in a bag. And, actually, I've suffered no after-effects having been catheterized (no leaks or squeeks).

Oh, a funny ... my male nurse accidently got both of his shoes entangled in my catheter tube a few hours after I woke up from the loooong sleep. Old Jake got about three-feet long upon the occasion. We laughed like Hell about that!!!!

Can't say the same about the breathing apparatus that was shoved down my throat. They broke one of my teeth while pulling out the rig and I couldn't talk above a whisper for several weeks.

Today, I'm truly dicked in a major way. I'm on oxygen a significant percentage of the time, literally am visiting at least one specialist every week and cannot walk over fifteen-feet without stopping to catch my breath.

But, I'm alive, for what that's worth, and am still able to help a lot of folks.

God Blessings,

Steve

My dad had 3 way catheters a couple times. He told me his little pecker was ruined.

Putting it in was way worse than removing it, for me.

I was conscious when the unloaded me off the helicopter and wheeled me into the trauma unit at LSU. They started to work on me immediately and inserting a catheter was one of the first things they did. It hurt so bad that they had to hold me down. That hurt worse than a broken leg, wrist, shoulder, 3 vertebrae, 6 ribs, 1 lung blown out, and the other lacerated. I was doing my best to get away from them, but they had me outnumbered.

Been there done that. Helpless feeling when you can't piss.

Went through a period around 7-10 years ago with difficulties, due to a typical older-guy symptoms of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). Was traveling a lot then, spending too much time sitting in airplanes--and then often in pickup trucks on rough roads. Ended up not being able to pee after a flight back to Montana, and ended up in the local emergency room, with a catheter connected to a bag that stayed in place for a week.

Was put on Flo-Max, which helped, but on a couple other trips still ended up in emergency rooms. My doc finally had me try one-time-use self-applied catheters, which turned out pretty easy to use--and less painful to insert and remove. In generall, after using one or two the problem went away, at least until the next long plane trip.

Eventually he suggested trying Finasteride, which started working very quickly, and I haven't had any difficulties since--but also don't travel nearly as much anymore.

As others have stated, not being able to pee ain't fun!
