Maybe I should refrain from mentioning that I had to take my own catheter out...

Pure evil..... of course I'm the dude that cut out some weird looking growth in my thigh. I had accidentally removed a 6"x10" (or so) chunk up to 2" deep of muscle when I removed some cinder block for a retaining wall by smashing myself into at high speed after I left seat of bike during street race. Dr want to see what it would become, I removed it with a pocket knife, healed fine just a little scar, plenty more to go around.

I saw this on another website, thought it might be appropriate here too.

As long as I curtail my liquid intake a few hours before bedtime, I can make it through the night just fine without having to get up a make a run to the bathroom during the night.

Well hell I've had both and now because of the flomax I take every morning I'm so regular it gets to be ridiculous every hour or less till noon or so then every couple of hours. I know were every Stewarts shop and McDonalds is and which door is closer to the rest rooms. Outside around the house or farms not bad lots of trees or tractors to step behind.

Interesting. I take tamsulosin (flomax) and dutasteride and can sleep through the night or drive 8 hours with no problems.

I talk to a lot of guys. All of us have the same problems but not the same effects.

I usually have a big glass of milk and some cookies right around 11:30 and get up around 6:15 every day. If I don't have that glass of milk, I bet I could sleep 10 hours.

Yeowy. Never had one. I'll get one next month for the first time due to some surgery. I'm not looking forward to it.

I guess I’m lucky. 77 and sleep like a baby all night.

It wasn't so bad. The worst was dreading pulling the darned thing out. That, and I didn't realize that it was so long it must have gone to my tonsils.
