Hi I am Samuel I am 19 this year

i have NF1

I will be having my nerve tumor removal on my shin in 2 weeks they suspect is a MPNST. Would be a 2 hour surgery. And I will be on bed rest for 2 days. I won't be given a catheter but will be given a bed urinal but I have bladder shyness. As I am in a open ward (around 6 in a room).told them  I don't mind inserting it under cause of my shy bladder but they don't want. Told me to relax and i can be able to pee

Any tips for using a urinal in bed for bladder shy person?

The only thing I worried about is I can't urine and they need to insert it when I am awake 

Also I am always prone to constipation told them that also told me I will be giving enema most likely is I am constipated cause of my constipation history

Anyway not to get constipated ?

Thanks

    Sorry to hear at your young age you are going through all this . hospitals always give you something for constipation , otherwise you can try the old remedy of breaking a tiny piece of soap and insert it in your anus ,you will soon feel a mild irritation and then you'll be stimulated to do it.
