The urologist won. She said she would do it on the count of three. The bitch yanked it on one. It felt like my kidney came out with it.

My first urologist in Maui did that to me—wife was in the waiting area, she heard a loud yell then a louder laugh—from me.

BTW my bladder biopsy showed only a “tiny” tumor, low-grade, so I won’t be needing weekly catheterization to get BCG infusion.
Believe me, that’s good news!
Next cysto in 3 months.

I had SEVERAL kidney stone surgeries in the mid 1990s.
Two lithotripsy, a few basket surgeries, countless IVP X-rays..

Most of the time the doctor removed the stent.
But one time they said, "oh, you can pull it out in a couple weeks".
I was mortified..

But the day came, I sat on the toilet, pushed like I was urinating, and pulled that string/tube right out.
It sure did beat going to the doctor.

I still have several stones in both kidneys, but as long as they don't move, the doctor says not to worry about them.

A few times over the years, I'll feel a tinge in my lower back, and tell the wife in case she finds me on the floor withering in pain.
A few days later I'll feel it working its way out or hear a small stone hit the porcelain.
As long as they are small, they don't hurt.

Hope everything works out for you.
