Is it typical/normal to have blood in the urine, rather fresh red color, not dark clotty blood.

I did take a decent walk today and wonder if that has something to do with it ?

I am 11 days post op, 2 days post cath removal. I pretty much have not had blood in the urine anytime since surgery........

And am alittle concerned.

thanks for any inputs you can share.

    Blood
    Marc - Well, you know what I'm going to say. Yes, it's normal. In fact, I'm the poster child for blood in the urine. I probably lost a pound of blood. It can be alarming to see all that red, but I would say, don't worry at all. The walking probably did it. But don't take my word for it... everyone else should chime in.
