Stretching can also be started almost immediately, even while in the hospital. Again it is important to start very gently and sensibly by listening to your body. If you feel pulling or it hurts, STOP.

• When stretching you should follow a few rules.
• Stretch on an empty stomach. Wait at least 2 hours after a meal
• Wear loose fitting clothing
• Practice in a warm room after warming up the muscles, for instance, after walking.
• Do not hold your breath during the exercises but breathe evenly throughout the stretch.

Types of stretching include modified forms of old friends you have done since your first P.E. class. The first one you may try is simply standing in place. First check your posture by standing against a wall. If standing correctly your buttock, shoulders and back of head should be pressed against the wall. Straighten your back and legs and feel the stretch. BREATHE. Gently tighten your stomach muscles by pulling them in to the wall. Stop if you feel any discomfort. Do this several times, for a couple of minutes each time. As you feel able, you can do the same stretch on the rug or floor.

After the catheter is removed, try some simple yoga positions to build your muscle strength. Get down on your hands and knees on a comfortable surface like a rug. Concentrating on your lower back, gently arch your back like a cat stretching. Your hands and feet should not leave the ground. Work to feel each vertebra in your spine move upward. Breathe and then relax. Now bend your back downward like a saddle-worn horse, again feeling each vertebrae move toward the floor. Breathe and stop if any pain or discomfort.

These are enough to get you going. There are excellent books out on Yoga and stretching. The key is to go slowly and move into these smoothly and easily. Check with your doctor about what you plan to do.
