Yiiiiikes the ol' peritoneal catheter huh? I went in the urologist's office back in '06 on an emergency and the guy went in a drawer, got one of those out and just shoved it in me. No anesthetic, no warning, just GOOMPH! I looked down and said "Did you just stick that in me!" But I guess I was gonna die otherwise so OK, and it surprisingly didn't hurt much. Is yours for dialysis or just a urethral problem? I hadda go to work with that thing for like a month. It wasn't too bad. Beat the heck out of the alternative.
