I imagine it was like when I got thrown from a horse and bruised a kidney. It hurt ALL the time, and there was absolutely NO position I could find to sleep without pain for the better part of a week. Definitely a NOT FUN experience. Glad to hear you're really on the mend!

It was something like that. The Dr said part of my irritation was the end of the stint was annoying the area near where that tube connects to the bladder. However I feel 90% already. no pain peeing, no blood, but I still feel not quiet right in the are where the tube was yanked out. I figure when I go back Friday I should be okay.
