I'm home from surgery. Everything hurts -my arms,my legs, my neck and of course, the perineal incision which is why I'm standing at my computer instead of sitting. But it's good to be home. The hospital food was terrible. Between the catheter, the IV, and the pads attached to my legs that pumped all night to prevent clots, I couldn't move. The man in the bed next door had his light and tv on all night, and when he wasn't snoring he was yelling "Mommy!" In between my IV alarmed every few hours. Hospitals are no place to get rest. My catheter is taped upward since it will be in for 2 weeks so the tape and tubing is yanking on my hairs. The only thing that doesn't hurt so far is the catheter.:cheer:

Oh, I can hit the back of the bowl. Unfortunately, I can hit the sides, the front, the floor, and my pants leg at the same time. Oh to have a strong, unified stream - but mostly to pee pain free. :)
