Mystery phallo guy here. Turns out my stricture issue was worse than expected. Guess we’re in the same sort of boat? I’ve had three surgeries so far to try and fix the stricture. That’s a total of two whole months with a foley! Even more fun, right? -_- Best of luck to you and Spot!

Ugh, my heart goes out to you! Bodies can be jerks sometimes, especially when healing, can’t they?

The one upside to being cath’ed, at least, that I heard from a nurse watching me after my second surgery fix: “Now you can watch the Lord of the Rings extended versions back to back, and not have to get up to use the bathroom even once! You’d never miss a thing.”

So… silver linings, I guess? Best wishes back to you in the meantime! We’ll get through this. :3
