I had kind of a funny expirance with bladder ultrasound after my last surgery
For those who don't follow me, a bit of back story. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with penile cancer. I had to have a penectomy.. I also had a peranial urostomy, a new place to pee from made right behind the testicals. This failed shortly after, but that's a story for somewhere time. Naturally I went home with a Foley catheter.
After the pathology came back, my surgin insisted I have some lyphnodes removed in the groin for pathology.do to the cancer bring stage 3. So a moth later I go through this 8 hour surgery robotically assisted lyphnode removal. 6 nodes from each side.
So the day after surgery the nurse removed the catheter from the penectomy surgery. I drank a lot of water so that I could pee. But do to the surgery, constapation etc. I was having difficulty passing urin to the point thst about midnight they finally catherized me again to drain my bladder. At least I finally got some sleep.
The next day I still couldn't pass much urin just 60cc 2 Oz at a time. So they started doing an bladder ultrasound after every void. At first the youn nurse would come in. All I had on was a gown. Later as people were coming on floor from surgery the nurses aid started doing it. She was a middle age lady I believe Jamakin from her accent.
She would bring a small towel with her and cover my shaved public area while doing the ultrasound. By then other than the urination problem, I was feeling fairly good, so I said to her, you don't have to go through all that trouble with the towl, thers nothing there to skare you. She laughed so hard I thought she would pis her self. She must have told my nurse. Later in the day when she came in she also had a laugh about it.
