GRRW3, I was 99 percent dry 4 days after catheter removal. I wore a pad as insurance for a long time ,just in case. Eventually I stopped using pads and everything was fine until I needed surgery on a urethral stricture.
Hopefully you will be fine but it is often said we should keep doing " some" PFEs, how many "some" is will depend on the individual's circumstances.
Thanks Chris
