From the Frying Pan to the Fire...

Got the catheter out today and was not psychologically ready for this.

Got the "maxi-pads" and have gone through four in the last two hours.  That a least minimizes the number of pairs of pants I've soiled.  Can't control timing or direction and can easily see how this might make a lion roar a little louder... at least he controls that.  And it's better than crying in an empty house.

Every time I stand, sit or take a drink -- out goes any illusion of control.  They say this could last up to two years!  I cannot have that. Some guys get to some form of control in three months... sure hope that is me.

Gotta really remember the saying I developed for me and those like me:  Nothing is ever as bad, or as good, as it seems.  Maybe a tattoo on the forehead and back of the hands???
