Good fucking riddance.
I am also very happy to no longer need spiro. I AM SO TIRED OF PISSING.
The procedure went well and they said I recovered really well from the anesthesia. I wasn’t groggy or anything and I could drink the water they gave me just fine right after waking up.
The best way I can describe what the pain feels like right now is when you need to piss like really crazy bad. (I don’t actually have to piss though.)
I was going to write a bit more but I’m tired so imma just go to sleep now. (Also my autocorrect just tried to change sleep to localhost:8080 wtf)
Update: A lot of my pain is gone this morning and I feel a lot better. I found that putting ice on it helped a lot. Didn’t really need much of the pain meds they gave me. Ibuprofen and acetaminophen are good enough.
Thanks for the advice. It was just an orchi. I did piss like a horse when I got home but idk if they had a catheter in or not.
Probably no catheter if it was an orchi - they do those for longer surgeries (current hospital’s policy is expected duration of 3+ hours - dunno if that’s universal) and orchies typically don’t go that long, nor would they need a urethral landmark.
…I think my bladder tissue irritation hypothesis was probably not correct.
