You are so right.....sex can and does cause URIs.....I have gotten

several severe

bladder infections and my doctor says it was probably from the sex. He said

think

about it... your bladder is only about ________________ this far from the

outside

world. Bacteria has a very short route to travel to get to your bladder and

start

growing. I even got a bladder infection from moving my bedroom furniture once

when Randy was out of town. I had my bladder tacked up when I had my

hysterectomy

and I guess I must have

pulled and strained it from tugging on the heavy furniture. That was my worst

infection ever.

Be very careful with the cranberry juice, it's very acidic on the new

tummy....push the water or dilute the cranberry juice. As far as I'm concerned

if

I have to choose between a healthy active libido or avoiding URIs..........I say

bring on the URIs.......hee....hee...

Love,

Genz

PS, I didn't have a catherer either :-) :-)

Hi Trish,

I love your posts.......you always keep me guessing as to what you're

saying...ha...ha

Now would mind telling me what your last post says I can't figure it out!!!!!!!!

" where close if you moving furniture " .......I can see you now going 110 miles

per

hour and your brain going even faster and you're doing several things all at one

time.......That's called a Type A personality......slow down and take a deep

breath, breath in....hold it....exhale...

repeat this several times.....I love you.

I have figured Trish out...

she means " wear clothes when you're moving furniture! "

I agree. Always a good policy. I like it when my hubby does dishes naked,

though!

Have a great day!

Dear Genz,

I read all the time but rarely post. However, I got a real kick out

of your post. I believe you mean " UTI " not " URI. " URI stands for

upper respiratory infection and if your libido is leading to your

Hi ,

We're just doin' our job.........it seems the honest mistakes are the

funniest. I bet the next time you get a UTI or a URI you'll have to stop and

think about where it could have come from..........hee.....hee....

Love,

Genz

Only the lucky ones. The others get to wet their beds. Sorry for

As a male, I too was kind of obsessing about being catheterized. I mentioned

this to my surgeon. My surgery lasted 3.5 hours. The catheter was put in

and taken out while I was under sedation. Your son may want to mention his

concern to his surgeon.

With best regards,

Dale

My son is having his surgery on Aug. 3rd and is freaking out about

having a catheter. Anyone out there have any words of comfort for

him? He is 19 years old and totally fixated on this part of his

surgery.

Are you sure he will have one? I was also worried sick about this

but at Kaiser they did not use one. If he does have to have them I

have heard that they go in and come out all while you are still

under.

The catheter should not be a problem. They are usually put in while

you are under and taken out while you are under. I had mine in for

24 hours but you are on painkillers and are pretty much " doped up "

that you won't even notice when they pull it out.

I'm not a guy so I'm sure it's different, but for me they put it in

while I was asleep, and taking it out was no big deal at all.

I had one for a little over 24 hours. It went in while I was asleep, and

it came out while I was fully awake. You don't actually feel it while

it's in, unless you step up and walk around the room... which I didn't

try. When it got removed, I felt a little discomfort. Not enough to

call it a pain.

Please tell your son, he's 100% normal to be dwelling on this, but

not to be worried...this is a standard part of many of our

procedures...I will have one too so they tell me, and honestly-yup,

one of the things I am like -argh! about, but really, I had one once

before and it's like they say, uncomfortable when they take it out,

but it's super-quick

and remind him...if he can go through BRACES,

and JAW SURGERY!

heck, this is definetly nothing to fear.

*one thing to remember, keep drinking or taking in whatever fluids

you can bec it will be critical that you " pee " after it's

removed...or they won't let you go home...I mean eventually sure, but

ONLY AFTER YOU PEE. (anyone thirsty?!)

Maybe he won't be getting one? I had upper & genio, surgery lasted

about 3 hours and I did NOT have a cath. Even if he does have one,

it may be removed before he wakes up from the surgery.
