Yay, Tracy! It's great to hear from you. Hope you get to go home today.
Girl, I feel ya on the bladder and bowel issues. I had a catheter placed during surgery and they took it out Tuesday night (sx was on Mon). My bladder and bowels were being a bit lazy and sluggish. I can relate to that numb feeling, but I seems to be back to normal now.
Sending you happy go-home vibes! Keep us updated!

Try lifting your tummy a bit to urinate. Helps things move.
Yep! Learned that when I was pregnant. Told my OB I had to go, but couldn't get it out, he said "Lift that baby up, mama!" and voila...tinkle time!

Glad you are on the mend!
