Is there some other reason why you might need a catheter? They will want you up and out of bed asap, and there should be no reason why you should need a catheter for a straightforward knee replacement with an epidural.
Why would you need a catheter Rocky? It's not standard for TKR so unless you have other issues that may require your being catheterised, I wouldn't have thought so .
