Andrea I feel your pain so much tight now! I've had word catheters a few times and have heard different things from different doctors. Some being they need to stay in until you schedule a follow up appt, some saying that they may fall out, and some saying you can take them out yourself. I'm currently dealing with one that seems to be pushing/falling out and it feels like it's ripping the incision. I don't know if it's worth it to just cut the tip off and let it drain so its not ripping out.
If yours has fallen out I would recommend just setting up a doctor's appt to explain what happened.
