OK..this is a wierd one!!
As you know i have an Indiana Pouch..well…this morning Hal as i affectionately call him…..spit out a piece of red thread about 3/4″ long. It was definately thread as i fished it out of the container i empty into. Wasn’t blood…a definate thread. ??? I thought maybe it was in the container but there is nothing red around it…and it was floating near the top at the end of emptying. Tis a puzzlement. Wonder if it was inside my catheter? Anybody else ever fish something wierd out of their pouch? or am i just wierd? Don’t answer that:silly: Pat

Just thought I would add to the collection. I have an illeal conduit and I had a staple in my bag. It was tiny and closed. I called my uro and asked him if I was coming apart inside. He laughed and said I could possibly pass more. Weird.

so far so goodmaybe i got pinkish/red thread cuz i’m a girl? Or maybe because i’m so blind without my glasses i inadvertantly caught a loose thread from my ummmmmm..you know…unmentionalbles? But then my stoma is at my navel and my ummmmmmm unmentionables are way lower than that……so i’m going through the laundry bin to see if i can “unravel” The Mystery of the Red Thread. Soon to be published.:silly:

I peed out a green plastic looking stitch a couple months after my neobladder surgery. Freaked me out for a couple seconds. I expected mucous but I didn’t expect to turn into a silk worm! :)
Never had another one since then so I guess all is well. :)

Pat – And you call me “weird” !!! I love it! Now we know I’m not the only strange one with “weird” stuff appearing when we empty. Does anyone know what color thread they used down there when they are stiching things back up? Hope things aren’t coming undone? Well, I think Hal was wanting a red carpet and it’s one of the threads. :side:

Still – very interesting to watch as usual. The doc even pointed out the suture lines where the surgeon had sewed it all together!!!We did see some mucous floating around but no hairs or threads!!
Ho hum!

Pat my friend, you are one of a kind! :woohoo:

Can·t help with that one, but on my last cystoscopy, lo and behold there was a pubic hair floating around in my bladder. My Uro insisted on hooking it out with the pincers. I could understand how it got there when the catheter and scope went in, but I refrained from asking if he was sure it was mine, I didn·t want him to laugh while he was holding the equipment !!! LOL
Maybe your red thread went in in a similar way ?
