I asked if I was just the biggest wimp ever, but she sweetly said I was not. LOL.

It was horribly painful....felt it burning/scraping every bit of the way (with BOTH catheters!), broke out into a cold sweat, got really nauseaus & thought I was going to get sick. She had to give me a cold, wet rag and turn on a fan. Then I could not urinate around the catheter after my bladder was filled with water....then I could not go for about 15 minutes after she took it out. GAH!!!!
It took me about a half an hour to go when I had it done. Only reason I managed it is that the tech gave me a cup of warm water (I was desperate) and I got so shaky and panicked that I spilled the water on my knee, and that got me going again.
