“@mlbbowman: Mike Minor is a few weeks behind because he had to rest for a month after undergoing a 12/31 procedure to repair scarring around his urethra”

Having had a similar issue, I can attest that this is not fun at all. Resting for a month almost certainly entailed having to deal with a catheter for most of that month while the urethra healed. I was never really told for sure what had caused the scar tissue, but the most likely explanation was that it had been from a prior catheter during another surgery.
In my case it was even worse, as it developed into a full-on blockage of my urethra before I went to a urologist and I had to have emergency surgery just a few hours after eating lunch (since I wasn't expecting to undergo surgery with anesthesia). Then the blockage was so bad that I had to deal with a superpubic catheter for a month before being able to have the normal procedure and have the normal foley for another month.
