My first one wasn't so bad (10/2006). I stayed around the house and worked from home. I had my own consulting business at the time so it was pretty easy. I didn't even have to go home with a catheter from that one. In a few days, I was fine.
Second one was bigger deal (8/2008). Had a catheter for three days. No lifting. Was working for a consulting company then and worked from home during that week. Six days later I was flying to a client site. I packed a little lighter that week and I think I may have asked someone on the plane to put my bag up in the bin since I didn't want to risk an overhead lift.
Was perfectly fine the next week.
Third one was the following month (9/2008). Didn't need a catheter for that one. Got the TURB and a TUIP on Friday and flew to MD Anderson for a 3nd opinion that Sunday. I went home same day for that one and did not go home with a catheter.
Got my neobladder the following month so no more TURBs for me.

PS: Sorry it took me a while to answer this one. I had to dig through my calendar back from 2006 to 2008 to see when I traveled after the procedures. I also put things like "Got catheter out" in my calendar so that's how I was able to track this down.
