Had surgery this morning and everything went great.When I stood up the first time I was nauseous but that has been
the only hiccup.Thanks for all the support and advice.Glad it's done!Also not a big fan of the catheter but get it out in the
morning.

Excellent news Buckeye!  Yes, I think the catheter was the worst part for me.

Keep us posted.

Just had the catheter removed this morning, that was alot of fun.My doc was Joe Assenmacher in Toledo, Ohio,he's excellent
and I would highly recommmend him to anyone in this part of the country.

Great, the first few days it's just so good to get out of that damned bed, if only for a minute.  Take it as it comes but keep moving forward.  We've all been there, I keep reading posts to see if what I'm feeling is normal, and what to expect next.  Its so good to have this forum to help.

I had to have one inserted when I was awake and removed as well.  HANDS DOWN THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!!!!!
