It costs $ 20 on Jensen Dr. To have it yanked here in Houston.

Takes longer to make sure the professional is 'in network' than it does for the actual job. Easy recovery, may involve a bucket of chicken and a ride to a shitty apartment complex.

I’m on Fentinal, amd hydrocodone and it still hurts at the slightest movement. But that is just from the trauma caused by the procedure.

I’m home now and plan on just staying immobile the next couple of days. It’s moving around that gets you. Pissing blood now but that’s normal. The doc cut the scar and expanded it with a balloon. That causes some trauma.

Another weird thing is they were telling us how to remove it ourselves. that ain’t happening. I’ll go in Monday and have it yanked.
You just made my pucker wince

This is only my second time. Not a pro yet! Don’t want to be!

It definitely is a bitch. But it will be over soon. Pray that this makes it possible to avoid the big surgery. By cutting it, it allows it to heal around the catheter as your body fills in the cuts with new tissue. This is supposed to keep it open.

They also found out my prostate is a bit enlarged which was contributing. Flowmax prescribed.

I’m Ok. Just turned onto my side. Whew. Laying on your back sucks. I also broke my ****ing iPad and the keys are all whacked out and don’t work half the time. Damn it. I put some tape on it and it’s gonna have to do.

When I get back on my feet I’m going to get an iPad mini I think because cheap. Anyone have one? Is it too small?

I'll call you in the am. I think we have an extra laying around.

Glad you're on the other side of the procedure and hope the meds are working.

You know, I really hate being "that guy" who is always sick. Hard to explain. I think people get sick of it. (no pun intended) - they start moving away from you and I don't blame them. It get's old after a while even for me. Plus, people are helpless to do anything and I think it frustrates them (people who actually care).

In real life I never complain. I also try to keep it under wraps mostly so it doesn't affect my business. Although it's been pretty hard to hide from my music following. You can only come up with so many excuses as to why you are almost passing out on stage or turning grey in the middle of the set. (although I've never missed a show, nor have I ever stopped a song - that is a cardinal sin).

I really just post here about it because I know you guys care and I sometimes just need to talk about it. I'm really almost at my limit mentally with so many physical problems. At some point I won't be able to go on if any more shit gets added to the mix.

The pain tonight is intense. I'm hoping it starts to get better in the next couple of days but my previous experience was not this. For 10 days it just stayed brutal.

One difference is that I now know how to take care of the damn thing. They gave me no instructions last time (that will come up in the impending suit). The HUGE thing is to keep the entry point lubricated with neosporin or KY gel (Neosporin is better because it also helps reduce the chance of infection with is sky high with these damn things).

Without it, blood dries on the tube and it literally tears up your dick hole. By day 8 I was a ****ing mess. This simple oversight on their part caused me a lot of unnecessary pain.

This time I'm bleeding a lot so it's harder to keep it from drying. The doc did some cutting so it's normal (but freaky as shit) and I hope it will lessen fast. I can't keep up with it so I will have some trouble there. I'm packing Neosporin in there mixed with lidocane (my brother the heart surgeon lifted a dozen vials for me.) Ha! I'm a compounding pharmacist now!

You guys would freak and or laugh if you saw my supply closet. I have bags of saline with kits to administer, supplies of drugs in-case of shortages (which happen more often than you think), all kinds of antibiotics (for the zombie apocalypse) sterile gloves, alcohol, gauze, syringes, even surgical instruments (zombies again).

Sorry for the TMI. I find it interesting. I should have been a doctor so I could have huge debt and work for peanuts thanks to Obamacare. Yeah, that's the ticket.

UPDATE: got that evil tube ripped out of me today. Holy shit, it hurt badly. But, it’s gone. My abdomen hurts but I’m guessing the whole area is freaking out. I’m hoping this pain goes away soon. Hard to sing like this.

Now we hope for the best. If my urethra stays open, I won’t have to have reconstructive surgery. I pray that is the case.

Jebus Christmas, that was rough. Twice in two months. First for 10 days then for 6 days.
