Just a quick update, 4 full days now being released from, as someone referenced, Catherine the 7th.  Still flowing pretty decent, no major accidetns to report.  If I wait too long to pee, could have a problem if it started before I was ready, so dealing with minor incontinence issues, but very minor.  Still no pad by day.  Nights make me nervous because of sleep inducing meds.  Hope this part of my life is behind me for a good while.

Meet with my uro/surgeon on Monday afternoon, and going to have a good heart to heart about what I should really be doing next.

David,

It must be good to be free again!  I had no night issues but was very nervous about it. I set an alarm for 4 hours and got up to pee.  I did this for a week or so, now I wake up every 4 hours without an alarm.  Not sure if I would make it all night or not, but the 4 hour window works for me because I fall right back to sleep and stay dry.

Good luck at the uro.

Theo, sounds like you are doing great on the getting dry department, glad to hear that

Larry, thanks

Bob, thanks too, I needed a good fix for the problem and so far, think the surgeon did a first class job.

Will do David. Glad to be getting a break from this part, was getting kind of old.
