Thanks for the posts on voiding.
I foolishly ignored this problem which became much worse the last two days.
Last evening I had to have a catheter inserted with a bag attached to my leg.
I initially voided over 1000 ccs. I now slosh when I walk.
I am staying a home this weekend and will see my doctor probably Monday.
Also taking Tamsulosin to help correct voiding problem,
I was told that when my bladder is normal-sized, this too will improve voiding.
I have initial urology appointment May 14, but trying to move that up now.
Moral of my story: I essentially ignored my voiding problem, ascribing it to old age (70s). That was stupid. No problem gets better by ignoring it; it just gets worse.
Again, thanks for the support I am getting. The worst thing I could do is isolate; I need to know there are others who have dealt with this -- and how -- and that people genuinely care.
