Missed the first milestone . . .

I had an appointment to have the Foley catheter removed this morning.  I still have it in place. It's not necessarily a bad thing, just a disappointment and a delay.

Prior to removing one's catheter after a urinary surgery where the urethra was cut, the Dr's. need to confirm that the sutures have taken and that the urethra is not leaking.  The x-ray with contrast  showed a slight leak at the sutures.

So, I need to wait as along as another week before I can the catheter removed.  Again, nothing serious - just a bit disappointing.
