Sorry [ and surprised] to hear about the problems, but, hope things will get better soon.

When I had mine out (the old way with the big incision), I was laying in recovery and the nurse came by and said when you get up to pee, do it in the cup provided in the bathroom and don't dump it.  Then she came by about 5 minutes later and asked if I had peed yet.  I thought that was odd, the last thing I want to do right now is get up and pee, but when I had to I would.  After she left my wife said do you know what that was all about.  I said no.  Wife said the nurse is going to give you about 15 minutes to get up and pee on your own and if you haven't, she's going to put a catheter in, then she explained how the catheter works.  I thought about this for a few seconds and told my wife to get up and pee in the cup.  She did.  The nurse came by and checked it and then left me alone.  I got up and peed later when I wanted to.
