[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 397068, member: 1991"] It's good to have some light at the end of the tunnel, and to also know it's not an oncoming train. A soft plastic tube could sit in the bladder for some time and not cause too many problems. I've heard of some nastier things, I've seen some horrifying X-rays. Two of my sisters have worked in radiography and have told me of some of the weird things they've X-rayed inside some bloke's "old fella". I think the weirdest was a switchblade. Not the knife - just the blade. husband was with his army unit on flood relief years ago one summer, and before they got into the flood relief they were on tactical exercises in the soggy ground. Leeches everywhere. One poor bloke had a leech crawl up into the urethra. It got engorged and the poor guy had to be evacc'ed out with a total bladder obstruction due to engorged leech. husband was the radio operator who had to make the call. If difficult child gives you a difficult time over this, remind him that you did not do this to him, and it has to be dealt with before it becomes a crisis. It might be OK now, but a bit of plastic in there (anywhere) can also move and suddenly start acting like a flap valve. Much better to get it out before it becomes an acute problem. I hope he cooperates for you. Marg [/QUOTE]
