It was getting major but I got to the ER before any thing nasty happened.

basically, I over exerted my abdominal muscles and caused a tear elsewhere with bleeding, which in turn inflamed and kept me from urinating for 9 hours, or so.

They had to insert a catheter. This event is as fun as it sounds. and it still hurts to empty my bladder 12 hours later.

after what it took to stop the cause of the bleed, they kept me over night.

This is why one should not dawdle in getting to the hospital. so far, I have forced down a chef Slaad . . . er . . . salad.
