Glad you are ok. My grandfather died in 1932 when my dad was only 3 - he had abdominal pain, doctor told him to sleep on it, it burst and he died.
I had mine out when I was 20 - that was back in the days when they let you recover in the hospital, I was there for 3-4 days. I remember when I was told I could drink water - they didn't tell me that I wouldn't be able to pee! They turned on all the faucets but it didn't help, and the other poor guys in the room had to go instead, including this guy who had been hit by a car and was in a body cast! I woke up in so much pain that I finally went to the desk to ask beg them for the catheter, but no one was there so I went back to bed and finally peed the next day.
