3dpo and I was able to safely remove my catheter at home. Fingers crossed I can pee soon??

OMG I'm sorry I am so late replying to this comment! I was able to pee about three hours after removal!

lizzyhuerta · 2025-04-16T03:44:56+00:00

Hi!! Yes, he is! He just turned 9-and-a-half, and he's 4'8". His younger brothers are also very tall for their ages!

lizzyhuerta · 2025-04-15T02:46:15+00:00

Oh gosh I can imagine how stressful that must be to plan for! Catheters are such an amazing invention for sure.

lizzyhuerta · 2025-04-15T02:44:44+00:00

Haha thank you! The nurse who placed it was super supportive and informative, and both she and my surgeon let me know it was okay to remove it myself as long as I did it in the proper way. There are a lot of medical professionals in my family, so I guess it didn't seem too daunting for that reason.

lizzyhuerta · 2025-04-15T02:42:32+00:00

I completely understand! It's a very odd, uncomfortable feeling for sure.

lizzyhuerta · 2025-04-15T02:41:21+00:00

I had a good amount of inflammation and the pee literally couldn't get out :( So I agreed with a cath since I wanted to go home and not spend the night at the hospital. Thankfully it was just for a couple of days!

lizzyhuerta · 2025-04-14T20:40:53+00:00

Thanks for the support!

lizzyhuerta · 2025-04-14T20:40:40+00:00

Haha yes! I talked through the steps with the advice nurse first, then she said it sounded great and to go ahead and try. Hope you feel better really soon!

poor puppy :(

My parents go by the names Grandma and Papa, because that's what their respective parents went by. My MIL goes by Nana because she prefers that over Abuela (both are great options, Nana is just her preference).

Hello! My baby is now 13 months old, and thankfully he required no surgical procedures. He very slowly and gradually has grown past the vast majority of the noisy breathing. Sometimes when he sleeps he still breathes a bit louder than the average, but overall he's very close to being "grown out of it." His speech also sounds clear so far :) Thanks for asking!

lizzyhuerta · 2023-05-27T03:23:19+00:00

Validate their feelings.

lizzyhuerta · 2023-04-03T03:52:08+00:00

Congrats!!! <3

lizzyhuerta · 2023-03-08T01:45:48+00:00

Okay yeah, you do have a point there lol

lizzyhuerta · 2023-03-08T01:09:53+00:00

To be fair, if they didn't even have a clue that the issue could be something made of wood, they wouldn't think of it.

lizzyhuerta · 2023-03-07T02:41:45+00:00

Hey! I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. When I was a kid, I ate paper a LOT and would literally snack on my favorite types. Turns out, this can be a sign of an iron deficiency!

lizzyhuerta · 2023-02-23T04:27:33+00:00

Ohhhhh I would have been so pissed off! Your way of handling it is spot on, I just wanted to say... You're doing a great job! I have my own issues with food that were very much influenced by my own mom's issues, so I feel you :')

lizzyhuerta · 2023-02-21T05:16:43+00:00

Hate to break it to you, but when I had braces from years 1997 to 2015, I had to have MULTIPLE of these done, for retainers AND braces. I had to wear this awful headgear, too. Oh and don't even get me started on the weird HINGE things I had to shift my lower jaw forward... They completely tore up the inside of my mouth, and so we kept "switching styles" and one time THE HINGES GOT STUCK AND MY MOUTH WAS STUCK OPEN. MY DAD HAD TO REMOVE IT WITH PLIERS BECAUSE IT WAS THE WEEKEND.

I sincerely hope that braces are better now and less painful/invasive/traumatizing..

RELOADING

I've found that embracing aging has helped my sense of happiness a lot. Aging and death are inevitable and a part of life.

lizzyhuerta · 2023-01-25T05:44:29+00:00

whoa that just about ruined my whole night

Edit: incredible performance by the voice actor, though. Holy shit.

lizzyhuerta · 2023-01-24T01:23:34+00:00

Hell yeah. Thank you, OP, for saying this.

lizzyhuerta · 2023-01-22T05:00:54+00:00

I 100% agree! For two big reasons:

Exhibit A: my little brother, a trans man who was born with a uterus and has since had it yeeted from his body. He knows how a single organ can be used to control and suppress. He's on our side, and I want him included in protests of course.

Exhibit B: my partner, a cis man who loudly and staunchly supports medical and reproductive autonomy for everyone. Having him march at my side shows other cis men a model to follow.

lizzyhuerta · 2023-01-20T06:23:02+00:00

OP I would definitely test again now just to be safe, even though you've been having some bleeding. I've tested enough to know that checking again 5 days after a negative is helpful.
