The operation was a doddle, I didn't like self injecting for a month, but you get used to it, the water infection a few weeks after having the catheter removed was the worst , I was immune to the 3 types of antibiotics and after 10 days referred back to hospital where a catheter and camera were inserted, it was thought the junction from bladder to tube had collapsed, I was told that the catheter would be removed in 2-3 weeks it was 5 months! It was with general anaesthetic to have camera and catheter removed, so far so good. During all this there was no home support and trying to see a doctor was useless!
Yes
The water infection couldn't have been avoided. If I had been seen during recovery, it may have been spotted sooner.
