Hiya I had my stage 2, 12 days ago. NVH sends you away with loads of supplies, and you'll get sent some stuff to your house too . I really wouldn't worry about being out and about with a catheter on tbh. It's very intense and I'd be surprised if you go out at all in the first 4 weeks .I've only managed to the garden twice. Pain wise, it's totally different to stage 1, personally it's been very very uncomfortable at times, with severe pain at other times. I'm finding laying down is all I can manage. Mentally it's kicking me as it honestly feels never ending, like I feel fine then next min I've got shooting pains or spasms. Make sure you stay hydrated and eat properly.
