I went back to work yesterday after having my surgery two weeks ago.To be fair I drove into the city(Philly) and estimated three jobs that were a couple of streets apart.Walking from one job site to the other I found myself leaking pretty often, which for "now" I found amusing that I could be in a crowd of people and be peeing without anybody knowing.I told my wife if she sees me just standing with a stupid grin on my face, I just might be peeing.

Hi Metalman,

Instead of actively peeing in public with your pads on, try holding (Kegeling)it as much as you can and then finding the nearest restroom to relieve yourself.  I practiced this and I believe it really helped me get continent in only 2 1/2 weeks. Do not let the pads become a crutch, think of them as only your back up in case you can't hold back the flood. My URo told me that once I could control the flow and stay dry to not wear pads anymore as back up and it has worked. smilewinkgrin

Good luck on the back to work and staying dry.

I heard that if you eat enough soft pretzels from the street vendors they will soak up all the pee. :)

Water Guy, My wife just asked me yesterday if I was doing the Kegals.She liked your post.I might have to steal your name if I don't get control of it.

Gleason6, I don't buy pretzels from vendors.Where do they pee and why are their pretzels soft?

Steve,yeah but I won't pee on your leg and tell you its raining.

when I had my catheter, I was at my bowling club having a beer with some of the guys, one of them said, "have to go for a pee", I said "I'm having one now", lol.

Cmetalman,

I am still laughing about the "soft" pretzels vendors. This is further proof that you are zany enough to fit in for GFMPH gatherings. Plan on being in Baton Rouge in April. Start the bake sales, panhandle if necessary but get it budgeted now, I want to meet you face to face.
