More on getting up at night to urinate

Hey DooWop (Great name),
You and I are almost the same age and not too far different on dates of operation. As of today it has been 13 weeks for me. I have experienced some of the same things. I told myself last week that I think I have gotten so use to the dribbling way of life that I don't notice as much when it occurs. My visits to the John have also gone down in number (partly because I am wisely drinking less before bed, and I also think healing is gradually restoring normality down south). Even during the day I have thought I was remaining almost dry to be surprized when checking a pad that it was wetter than expected. I am trying to use one pad a day and one at night. Sometimes I use two during the day depending on what I am doing.

I have resorted myself to it drying up when it will dry up - it is a patient process. RB
