thanks for the kind words. I am trying not to freak out. I did take a pain med just in case before the VCUG. I was overly concerned about the catheter removal. I have read a couple places that it (hydrocodone) can cause issues with urination. I will see how today goes with a plugged catheter. My urologist office said to wait over the weekend and see how it goes. I just need to trust they know what they are doing.
I think going forward I need to work on my fear of pain, it really gets me hyped up. I am an adult 56 year old male and it is ridiculous to get this worked up. I think my lack of experience with the medical system has inflated this to a not manageable level.
Hopefully in the next day or so it will resolve itself.
