Catheter users:

I had major surgery on June 26th,,,,(hyrestorectomy (sp.?) for stage 3 uterine cancer ) and was sent home with a catheter. Had an appointment with Home Care in town on July 8th, to have it removed & a dressing change.

While I'm fortunate to be healing well, my bladder is not co-operating, & have needed another catheter placed.

Am wondering if others dealing with something similar? Any tips on allowing for the bladder to work better? Without the catheter, I wake up up to 8 times during the night, & can only "drain/let go" of at most 3-4 ounces per pee. The daytime seems worse, as it's only 1-2 oz that I can let go
