    I am sorry to hear that!  I knew I had an extremely experienced surgeon going in.  I had less than a tbsp of retention at 2 weeks.

      I'm not sure your reply is helpful to Randal.  He's looking for answers.  Maybe there is something else you can share about your experience that would be helpful.

    Thanks for posting Randal. Did you have any improvements ? What does your uro have to say about it ? Hank

    Ask your uro about CIC self catherization. 6 months is too long to wear a Foley catheter.
