    • Kayla woke up wiping the sleep out of her eyes. Then she felt it the wetness it was so embarrassing.  She didn’t want Annie to know she had a legit accident and wet herself.  The look probably gave it away.   “Wh- what time is it?”   
    • 1. Does your bladder fill up and then suddenly release a large amount, or is there a constant dribble? What causes retention or releases?  My bladder filling is a rarity these days. I have a small stricture from the procedure, but it's very manageable by cathing about once a month with a 24fr catheter. If I let it act up further, I start retaining urine - but even then, it's not "control" in the normal sense. Lean back, or stand up, or cough, or just relax the pelvic floor, and whatever is being held back by the stricture comes out. (Not that it's much - it looks like my bladder holds 150mL these days, from a guy who used to go all day at high school holding it...) The other 95% of the time?  Dribble, dribble, dribble. Maybe a spurt when I get out of bed in the morning and sit up. As I type this, I...well, let's move on to the next question. 2. What's your sensation? Does your bladder ever feel full? Do you feel urine leaking out, or is it just your skin feeling wet or diaper filling? Are you aware "I'm peeing now"? As I type this, I can feel drips and dribbles running down my scrotum and down through my perineum. Just a constant little dribble. If I'm standing, I can go all day and find myself in a soaked diaper I was completely unaware I was wetting. If I have a full bladder these days, it's an anomaly. (Case in point - when I do find my stomach hurting these days rarely, I have to remember what a full bladder used to feel like, and figure out if it's that.)
    • In the morning, Annie got up and walked over to Kayla’s room quietly. Kayla was asleep. However, the urine reek revealed what happened in the night, but Annie didn’t know if Kayla woke up and wet her diaper or if she wet in her sleep. “Good morning, time to get up,” she patted Kayla’s shoulder.
    • There is a lot of mindless drivel on TV over the Christmas season (well, most of the year actually - which is why I rarely watch television), and usually I'll fall into a pattern of watching it for a few days. However there are a few films I like to return to at Christmas (not necessarily every year). One I usually watch every year is Scrooge (the 1951), with Alastair Sim in the title role. Apart from the beautiful themes it conveys, I find the soundtrack by Richard Addinsell so evocative. I also love the Christmas classics Miracle on 34th Street and It's a Wonderful Life. If it happens to be on television, I will not pass up an opportunity to watch Mary Poppins - as a child, this film would be on several TV stations over the course of Christmas day; now it has been relegated to sometime during the Christmas season, in favour of films which have zero connection to Christmas (although I guess Mary Poppins isn't, strictly speaking, a Christmas movie either). (On the subject of Mary Poppins, happy birthday to Dick van Dyke, who turns 100 tomorrow.)   So, basically all of my favourite films were produced decades before I graced the world with my presence...What can I say? I'm a conservative, a traditionalist, a sucker for nostalgia, and for plain and simple movies with beautiful messages!
    • From my experience, if you can, make sure your doctor knows that incontinence is not only acceptable, but preferred. Doctors like to do that thing where they minimize side effects while trying to fix things.  I've gone into every conversation with a urologist going "I would rather be fully incontinent than even have a chance of retaining urine again. Diapers are a perfectly acceptable way for me to manage this compared to having to cath constantly or have future procedures." I just don't specify that in my case "retaining urine" is really seen as "any urine."
