And so far no one is commenting on what he is wearing at the end of the video as he walks out of the frame of the shot , and what you see includes below the waste.... You have to jump to near the bitter end....

@Baby Toni38: I've had the Rezūm procedure shortly after it was assigned its procedure code (i.e. not long after it was an approved procedure - about two years after the initial experimental trials report was out). That procedure uses steam to kill off prostate tissue and then let the body absorb the dead tissue over the next three months. From the description of your procedure, they will remove material during the procedure. A catheter was left in for just under a week. The procedure only removes some of the prostate, basically around the urethra. I'm going to guess that your PSA numbers are elevated by the size of your prostate, but not really out of line for the size you have. My PSA numers are larger than "normal", but my Urologist says in line with the size of my prostate, and my free PSA numbers are relatively good for my conditions. Relax and have a good discussion with your doctor at the pre-surgery appointment. If I ever need a followup procedure done, what you are having appears to possibly be more appropriate to more fully handle the issue. Interesting....

@Baby Toni38 Thanks for the note. This looks like a better procedure than the minimally evasive procedure I had a few years back. Looks like both of us have had the "fun" of dealing with early onset BPH. Best wishes.

@diapijay: How is your washer / dryer in the RV working out for you?

@~Brian~ Just don't ever accidentally install the stock alpine package with apt-get. You would destroy the binary files you moved into /usr/bin. Links instead of moving may have been a better choice in case of an accidental package installation of alpine....

Hope you enjoyed the eclipse....

One of the reasons I think your thread subject resonated with me is early on as I was trying to find answers and possible solutions for when occasional nocturia turned into occasional nocturnal enuresis, there were folks who found true / real life stories stranger than fiction and therefore must be fiction.... Its part of why I don't go in to details of how I broke too often.... Most folks it takes time. I'd join the folks that would like to comment in this area "be careful what you wish for". I wasn't wishing for this, but I definitely have been closer to breaking all my life than the average / typical / normal person. So some (probably very few) out their will break a lot quicker with no way back than the "normal" person. So, the gate keepers get over zealous at times and don't want to get items posted that are out of the normal.....How can they tell the fake from the real?

Medical insurance coverage of some of these drugs gets interesting, even under employer plans... I was on a long term trial run of Mybetric. I got a 3 month trial followed by a 1 year planned trial. At first my employer plan covered the drug with just the "normal" co-pay (at the most expensive co-pay level). When the next year's company insurance plan showed up they changed their drug plan to a new 4-tier formulary (vs the previous 3-tier formulary). If the drug had been covered under the new plan, my costs would have gone up significantly. However the new plan also did NOT cover Mybetric under the plan's forulary, leaving me to pay the entire cost if I wanted it. And the drug was over $1000 under Good Rx for a 90 day prescription. I opted to cut the experiment short and not get the final refill. While I was seeing some good affects from the drug for what I was working on, it didn't fully address the root problem, so what's the point of taking it when I still would have needed (heavy) diapers at night.... According to my Urologist, Mybetric was covered under Medicare's part D drug coverage.... Something in me suspects if I was doing things that way I would quickly blow through the plans doughnut hole in drug cost coverage.... And two other drugs the Urologist had previously prescribed I told him I was not refilling due to side affects....

@Enthusi: Maybe not where you planned this thread to go, but.... I've known since (mid) elementary school that how I sense things is different from "normal" or "average", starting with pain..... While I won't say I was wanting incontinence, a piece of my was scared / expecting something to happen at some point in time... And when the combination of things hit that started the bed-wetting, so it came true..... And that was before I knew about ABDL / diaper fetish, etc.... Found out about that once I started looking for how to handle the problem.... While sensory issues weren't discussed / brought up by doctors as I was growing up, I see what I have is now on the list of items associated with neurodiversity and autism spectrum. So, you may have similar "fun" with current definitions knowing what you know now.

Technically, as soon as I post this reply, my reply, under US copyright law, is under copyright, and I "own" the copyright of what I write in this reply. Its been a while since I've ready Mikey's terms of service, but this would be something dealt with there for what is posted for this board (to permit this board's usage).

@Toddler Pampers I use the four layer (night time) Purity gauze diapers from https://www.adultclothdiaper.com/Adult-Flat-Diapers-Gauze-Purity I fit the smaller 36" x 36" size.

@diapijay Interesting. Sounds like you found a way to use your washer / dryer successfully. I assume you are still drying over night, so don't really notice the amount of time needed for the drying part of the cycle.

@diapijay: I've been meaning to comment on the washer / dryer setup. I hadn't thought about it, but I can understand why you are doing it at night since if you are moving in the day, that won't work. I expect you really need services hooked up (power / water / sewage ) to use the system. One comment was the dryer can't have as much heat as a normal house hold electric dryer, as that is typically a 30 Amp 220 Volt circuit, which would use all of a standard RV 30 amp connection, and most of the higher 50 amp standard connection where that is available. I assume this is just a "standard" 15 amp 110 volt plug - so maybe using only 1/2 of one side of the standard 30 amp circuit to the RV. That would mean longer drying times, which I did find documented by another user of this type of washer dryer.... And being overnight, the longer time wouldn't be noticed... I didn't consider how much the RV would shake while the load was spinning.... Interesting..... Overall, I think I will plan to stick with the campground washer and dryers which are typically standard household systems. Yes, you still need to spend some time to handle laundry. At my usage level, I can (mostly) get away with doing diaper laundry every four days in a more standard size washer / dryer. I suspect I would be close to daily with the type of system you are using.... Thanks for the info on your usage.

Are you on the standard version of Metformin or the time release version? If on more than 500 MGC per pill more than twice a day, on the standard version, you might want to try spacing your dosages better.... Best wishes working out your issues....

@ValentinesStuff: I see you list AB vs incontinence, so maybe you overall don't care as much... But most of us would tell the doctor to cut that medication, lower the dosage, or .... If this is metformin, I've found things very in how soft / hard the stool is.... I was good at a lower dose. The current does is three pills, originally prescribe with two in the evening (at one time). I'm now spreading the time between those evening pills and having less issues.

I believe I've I the thicker vinyl from both VIP, and then from Comco after VIP shut down.

The old VIP vinyl pants were thicker than 4 mil.... I thought at least 7 and probably thicker.

@BrownBobby: First, before I get to my point, I need to admit this area of the board is NOT for me.... Given that, and given the issue you have faced with deletions in the past, have you consider posting something in your account's available (but currently unused by you) "about me" section? If things keep being deleted, this could give you a space to say what you need to that I would expect wouldn't be deleted, and then you could refer to that info rather than repeat it else where. Just a thought. I admit I don't have any real good idea of what you or some others go through mentally. I have enough "fun" mentally with medical issues that have resulted in incontinence and the "big boy" in me wants to shout "NOoooooooo!". I'm sure your issues take the mental health issues to another level.

The "small" 4 layer purity diapers from https://www.adultclothdiaper.com/Adult-Flat-Diapers-Gauze-Purity. I use at least two at a time. And more in one shot for the night.

@~Brian~ On # 1, I'm not sure. If there is a difference between the two, I would expect the key numbers to be different and either get a not found or the a download of a key that won't work from the wrong site. Usually i find a way to download the key from the command line and then go from there to install it. I thought the keynumber was a hash for the key, so I would expect a not found or download a good key if the key is found on that server. On # 2, I'm starting to deal with that.... I believe it is still working (for now), but there is a new way to handle the keys used by apt-get. Since I've only done this on a work computer, I'd have to google to help you here.... But basically the keys can now go in their own file (in a directory under /etc/apt/ , I forget if there is currently a convention for the directory name), and then define an entry in the appropriate sources.list file that contains a pointer to the key to be used. Again, I'd have to goggle to come up with the correct syntax. Basically you add [ <meaningful text> ] in front of the deb line in the sources.list file (possibly in a file under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory). Best wishes.

@deewet You sound a bit like me in playing the watch and wait game..... I assume you have both the PSA and the free PSA numbers..... I've had one minimally evasive procedure (Rezume) which destroys part of the prostrate, that traps the Uretha, but basially leaves the rest in place. My Urologist has made comments that my higher than "normal" PSA numbers (combined with the free PSA reading) are supported by the size of my prostrate. I'm fortunate to not have a history of cancer, but do have history of growing things (non-cancerous).... So, early on set BPH..... Have you had a needle biopsy done? Are the numbers supporting removal of the prostate? Or (considering your age) are your risks such that you will likely die from other causes before prostate cancer actually could take you out? I'm younger than you so I need to keep monitoring numbers.... As long as no major changes, I should be good.... sort of.... Best wishes.....

I've tried both snappies and Boingo. I find they tend to tear into the type of diaper I use where pins properly work without tearing... till the cloth gets more worn out. Something to watch out for, and probably varies with the type of cloth diaper you are using.

I read this site with NoScript loaded and blocking most add on scripts. The original link paywall doesn't hit in the initial load of the page, so I *think* I see the whole article... Agree that the article claims they have been turned down at the state level for the business license, and don't have things back from more local government entities. Now that second link you gave is blocked on initial page load with NoScript blocking scripts.... And I don't care to prune through the list to see what is needed to allow me to see what you are referencing there.

@diapijay I will be interested in hearing how the washer / dryer works out in your RV, especially with cloth diapers. Several years ago, I went on an extended camp out vacation with family, on a long road trip, needing cloth diapers at night (for bed-wetting), and also wore some during the day (in case of a nap). Washing the diapers at various campgrounds along the way worked out fine. However this spawned my most active conversation concerning my diapers. My sibling and I were handling the wash, which had finished drying. I was folding my cloth diapers and another camper showed up to do their laundry. That person asked if they were towels. I made a comment about they probably could be good towels. At that point I believe the other person realized what I was folding.... And that ended the conversation... I'll be retiring in about 2 years and am considering getting an RV and traveling some after retirement. I saw an RV that listed a washer / dryer in the class B van and hadn't thought about it till then. In my opinion, I think it would be a bit much to have such in a class B van, but I now see it is possible. If I did that, I'd probably only run it when I was hooked up in a campground to water, sewer and electricity, and since such sites have typically including a laundry facility, I'm unlikely to include a (small) washer / dryer in the RV. However, I could see where it might be useful if I had issues with # 2 while wearing cloth. Due to early onset BPH, I now have day time issues along with my nighttime issues, so some level of protection is needed. While I mainly use cloth diapers, I have found the high capacity disposables that are now on the market (curtsy of the ABDL community), there is now a disposable that can handle my night time output, and is more convenient when traveling. So, I am interested in how things go for you with cloth diapers and the RV washer / dryer. Also, what type of RV are you using? Class A, B or C, or ?

At this point, I always remove my bottle of (talc baby) powder and leave it by itself in the bucket when going through (US) airport security. I think the last several times I've flown they have always run the explosives test on the container, and then let it pass..... So if you do bring it, just leave it where they don't have to dig through your carry on bag at the security check. A full bottle (new) is almost guarantee to trigger checks after x-ray. A partial bottle might slip through OK. OK, you can't get talc powder in the US anymore, and I haven't tested corn starch yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if it shows similar on the x-ray machine. The real "fun" one with that explosive machine is some sun tan lotions.....
