Well, six months plus later I am starting to see some improvement in the
incontinence department (can potency reappear soon thereafter???).  I wanted
to give this several days before saying anything, but for the most part this
week one pad has lasted me all day.  On Thursday and Friday I changed at
8:00 P.M. and then wore that one all night.  When I changed the pad it was
soiled, but maybe not to the point of leaking, but why take a chance.
   Today was shopping, laundry, cleaning, etc., day, so I am on pad two
now, but the one I changed was not all that bad.  So even with standing,
stooping, lifting, I see improvement.  Thank Heaven!  I am beginning to
believe that this may actually end one of these days.  I was starting to
read about artificial sphincters thinking that was my future because this
hung on so long without any sign of improvement.
   Speaking of improvement, my wife has been out of the cast for two weeks
now, and she is starting to walk, using the "boot", without the walker.  The
ankle is still very weak, and she cannot do anything without the support of
the boot, but this is still a lot better than always having to hop with the
walker.  Thanks to Upstairs for that one too.  The only question is what
does Buttercup have in store for us next???  I cannot see where the doggie
Prozac has done anything for her yet.
   Have a good weekend everyone.  And a big Thank You to all of you that
have been supportive to me with this incontinence thing all these months.
   Thank you.
