For me, the diaper bag usually stays in the car. If I am wet or messy, I finish up what I am doing and make a mental note to where the bathroom is. Then I will go to my car and I will bring my backpack into the store. I then go right for the restroom. I don't hang out or wander. I am confident and on a mission for the bathroom. If I don't know where it is, then I ask. Maybe I am lucky but despite ignoring many no backpack signs, I have never been confronted about it. Also, I have the mindset that this is a medical thing. I am mentally prepared. If a store clerk was to make a big deal out of the backpack, my response would be I have medical supplies in it and need to use your bathroom. If they keep pestering me about it, then I would offer to leave it upfront and would take my diaper supplies out and would carry them to the restroom. I have learned to leave emotion out of it.

Has anyone tried this? I haven't went off the deep end into untraining for more than 6 months at a time...yet. During my 6 months, I felt spasms and involuntary leaking during coughing and laughing, as well as reduced capacity from hours to maybe an hour at the most. Also during this untraining period, I would wake up several times a night to pee. it My theory is that, if the bladder never got a chance to expand at all, untraining might go faster. The flip side is you might end up with sleepless nights as soon as you stop using the catheter. Any thoughts? On a different note, my wife had knee surgery a couple months ago and her leg muscles degraded to nothing very quickly. It gets me thinking that it could be similar with the bladder and that holding it at night, waking up with a full bladder might be holding you back.
