Got there at 8 o'clock for a procedure at 9:30. Laid there with everything hooked up until they wheeled me in at 12:30.They apparently got the wrong size valve as when they tried to put it in it was too big. It took a little over 2 hours for a procedure that is supposed to take no more than an hour and a half. I have no idea what they did but my groin and lower chest are sore as hell. The stomach muscles are so sore that I can not sit up by myself.

They ignored my warning them about the 2 small polyps on the side of the prostate and inserted the cath damaging something. When the took it out, at about 8:30pm, it left me unable to piss and a constant severe pain. The inserted a cath at 3am to drain the bladder and then removed it. Same at 8am as still could not piss but this time left it in.

At home laying in bed with the cath in and a piss bag on. Changing from the leg bag I had on coming home to the large bed bag is a pain in the ass.

Stupid smart phone battery is getting low so need to charge it. Don't want to be like The Cajun and let get too low. Be back later.

Get well soon Ben!
