I know the topic of having to pee/holding post-surgery while in the hospital has been talked about before, but I just had an experience today while getting an MRI done on my brain and spine (nothing life threatening! No worries!). So here's what happened:

I was scheduled for an MRI at 5:00 today, but since I was worried about traffic, I ended up getting to the hospital about 4:30. Not too bad, but there was definitely a lot of people there waiting. So by the time I get called back, it's about 4:55. They check me in, let me change into a pair of sweatpants and T-shirt, and then send me to a little waiting room where they'll come to get me. Now, I genuinely didn't have to pee at the time. So when the nurse came to get me and asked if I wanted to use the bathroom before we went in, I graciously declined. So off we went and it wasn't ten minutes later and I'm being slid into the tube with a pair of headphones and an IV line hooked into my arm. 

The MRIs I've had done in the past were maybe twenty to thirty minutes at most, and even that was pushing it. This one? The first was an hour and a half scan that would cover the entire brain and upper spinal column. A second, combined with a dye, would be another half hour right after the first. So I was looking at least two hours worth of time stuck in the machine. My head was secured in a cradle, another anchoring thing was put over my head, and I was given the panic button in case anything went wrong. And there I lay.

It wasn't until after maybe the first half hour did I feel my bladder filling up. It was to be expected, as I had downed a good amount of water to make sure I was hydrated enough for the doctors to be able to find a vein (I usually end up a human pincushion from them poking around looking for one). It wasn't really uncomfortable since I was lying on my back, but with nothing else to focus on except for lots of whirring noises and a little bit of pop music, I found myself focusing on my bladder almost exclusively. 

Another half hour goes by and the nurse comes over the intercom. "You doing alright? Try to keep perfectly still." I do as I'm told, but I can't help but feel that I'm pressing my thighs together every now and again. What can I say? It's a habit. But I ignore the urge and focus on the music. 

It's an hour and a half now. My bladder is legitimately getting to the point where I'm getting tingles. The nurse pulls me out long enough to inject the dye into my IV line and back in I go. The last scan feels like time is just crawling by at a snail's pace. If you've ever had an MRI done before, you know that it's not just noise, but there's vibrations as well. Each rumble and rattle shakes my bladder to the point where I can feel the pee sloshing around inside it. I'm struggling to keep still, biting my lip in the process, By the time I hear, "Alright, looks like we got it. Let me get you out of there," I'm bursting. She gets me unhooked, gets the restraints off my head, and sits me up. The closest thing I can describe the feeling as is the "unlocking the door when you really have to go" kind of feeling. She doesn't help by mentioning that she has to pee too (the technicians obviously have to sit there the entire time too, sometimes for more than one patient) and she escorts me back to the locker room where my things are and then we both part ways to the bathrooms.

I get myself into the bathroom and it's just barely in time. I'm already peeing before my sweatpants are pulled down and I spray the side of the toilet before I manage to center my stream into the bowl. It's not a super long release, maybe just twenty or thirty seconds, but it's powerful and fills the water with bubbles. I recorded it with my phone...... So I'll share that here too. Hopefully it works.

In terms of holding, I really like the idea of being physically restrained to an area, required to keep still, and only be allowed to go once the task is done. Not that I want any more procedures like this done, but it's definitely an added incentive.

When I was back in middle school (I didn't yet know about omorashi), I had to take an MRI for a bladder issue which required me to have a full bladder to take it, so my mom told me to make sure my bladder was full by the end of the school day. I struggled to make it to the end of the day (thinking about having to have a full bladder makes my bladder even fuller) and my mom actually had to stop twice along the ride to the place for me to go off the road into the bushes and just pee a little, though Im not sure how much it actually helped. Surprisingly as the MRI was going on, despite the fact that I was laying down and had a cold thing on my body, I found it easier to hold, and finally got to go to the bathroom after it was done. 

Because Im not really into holding and desperation, I didn't enjoy it all that much, but may very well have increased how much I would later be into omo.

Did the relief feel really good?
