Removal of the catheter is of course painless. While it was in I found great benefit in the fact I could drink as much as I wanted without having to rush off to the toilet! Once it was out I realised I had no "feeling" at all in my bladder muscles. I suggest you buy a supply of the special incontinence pants now. I notice the supermarket shelves are getting low on pants and pads. It took me a couple of months to regain good bladder control, so don't worry in the first few weeks. I still wear very light pads as heavy lifting, water gurgling etc can make me leak the tiniest amount (I call them 10 cent pieces) Most of the time I dispose of a fully dry pad at the end of a day.
