While visiting with BeCuz, Sleepless and Ice Cream Man about my recent surgery, Sleepless informed me I had a catheter during the procedure. “I did? Are you sure?” I asked and said, “I don’t feel like I had a catheter. I would think that is something I would remember. They definitely didn’t put one in me before getting on the table.” “I’m pretty sure you had one. They put one in everyone who has surgery,” Sleepless replied.
“Really? I was under the knife for about 30 minutes recently. Wonder if I had a catheter,” BeCuz said. “No way,” Ice Cream Man, who is a huge fan of catheters, piped in. “No way. Neither of you had a catheter.”
It’s nice when a third party knows better than you whether or not you had a catheter. Based on what I’ve read, there’s no way in hell I had a catheter without knowing and, if I did, my shoulder is the least of my worries.
