Spent the nite b4 in the hospital, was woken early, prepped and went in for the procedure around 8am. Got knocked out and woke up 3 hrs later with cotton mouth and feeling woozy. Spent the next 6 hours in my hospital room with a catheter kinda sleeping, kinda awake.

Dr. came by mid afternoon told the nurse to remove my catheter around 5pm. He told me that once I had peed I could leave. Took awhile to pee but I did and then went home. No pain whatsoever. Minor blood in the urine for a week. I now fart a lot more than I used to though.
