That stuff was painful! Do you smoke? I'm just wondering if there is a
correlation with the smoking and the co2 (cause I smoke).
I haven't talked to my doc yet, what I do know is what my husband told
me after they talked, after the surgery. I have an appt with the doc
tomorrow though. Nothing was on the tubes or inside them. Glad those
that were on my bladder were removed, this might be gross but, I am so
glad I can pee!

Wishing you a pain-free life
