cysto/hydro: what to expect?

[Knitstuff]

having my cysto/hydro on Thursday, and just want to know how I might be feeling in the few days after the procedure? Luckly, I don't have to go to work until next Monday, as I am on vacation this week. ( ok, I was also on vacation last week but went to Vegas:thumbsup: )

Any hints, tips, suggestions on recovery would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I made a list of questions I knew I'd want to ask the doc AFTER the procedure. I gave them to my mom so she could ask them when he called her after or met with her in the waiting room after.

Also, ask for pain meds to get you through the first few days after. And rest, rest, rest if you can --- it'll help you heal.

Good luck! :)

You can expect the first few times you urinate to be painful --- after that it's not bad at all. I agree that you'll want to have some "just in case" pain medications --- I don't usually need any after the first day or so. It's good that you won't be going to work for a few days --- I think you should plan to just take it very easy and give your body a chance to heal.

Warm hugs,

it didnt help me at all, i was only uncomfortable for a day or two afterwards but it was a drag getting general anestisea and being in the hospital
