Hi John, Yes, was told after two weeks that the physio exercises weren't working, basically because I couldn't do the kegel exercises properly, and the nurse didn't want to help me with this. She said it would be pointless, to continue. Now I am at home, trying to do timed voids and quite frankly this is a pain in the derriere, as I feel my whole life is revolved around getting to the toilet on time. I am trying to just go, when I feel a powerful urge, and not to go just when my bladder is telling me, which seems to be often. Hence with the timed voids, I often try and distract myself, so that I am not thinking that I need to go. As time goes by, I am aiming to go every two or three hours, but as of yet, this is not achievable. Oh well, I guess time will tell, and I am not going to get too despondent about this. Quite frankly, I have gotten used to my bladder issues and I suppose they will now be with me forever, so no big deal. I shall carry on, as I have been and just continue using protection. Does it really matter, in the great scheme of things, if I am still wet? I am dealing with this in my own way, quite admirably and just get on with life in general. Even if nothing gets sorted and I have the incontinence forever, I am still the person I was before all this happened. I am not going to let a loss of urine, get me down! Life is too short and there is so much, I still want to do. Kerry
