catheter moving in penis

My husband, age 51, had a radical prostatectomy March 29th and is home from the hospital.  He seems to be doing very well.  The worst part is the catheter.  Each morning he wakens with what seems to be blood on the front of him and on the sheets.  Is that normal?  And also, he complains he can feel the catheter moving up and down in his penis.  Is that ok?  His urine is still not clear either, but he is drinking about 6 or 8 half liter bottles of water daily.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Michele

Yes, it is taped high up on his thigh to try to prevent the feeling of the catheter moving.

I agree.  SHould not be any bleeding.  Call your Dr.
