I received another inspirational email from a friend this morning. Thought it would be a good way to start the day. I hope you agree.

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU GATHER, BUT WHAT YOU SCATTER THAT TELLS WHAT KIND OF LIFE YOU HAVE LIVED.

Sonny, very wise and witty words.

I was told that the boy who dies with the most toys, wins? Not the case?

Just kidding. Don't even have any good fun toys any more, sobs. My sailboat is gone, my motorcycle is gone.

Hope you are feeling even better at home.

Considering what I've been scattering since surgery during padless times, it looks like my life has been a pisser!

Back to work. The others in the management meeting think I'm checking a production hour report.

David I am feeling really good. Felt good to sleep in my own bed and with my wife last night. Also I bit the bullet and went to bed without a pad based on my experience so far. Successful night, got that you gotta go feeling about 4am and had no problem getting up and making it there. Didn't even feel I had to rush. Man, I sure hope that everything continues this good.

Sheldon, I am so glad that I have recovered to the point that it does not hurt to laugh. You have knack for saying the things that just create the bell-rolls. Luckily I had just made the "john" trip before I sat down at the computer. It would have been a real good test of my ability to hold it.

Thanks guys,

Sonny

Sonny, my original going dry time was about a month. I never used a bed pad, but did wear Depends pull ups for weeks at night only, for my mental well being, never did soil one. My wife said I worried too much about incontinence. You are becoming a true model of what can go right, instead of what can go wrong. You are a fortunate man, my friend. Keep it going, it gives hope to others following your footsteps.

Sonny,
The first few weeks are unpredictable so be careful. There is no rush to prove you are dry. For all you know, you may sneeze after you snuggle and "spirt" , gosh darn, a wet spot. It does sound like it's going well though and best wishes to you and you snuggler.
