You know, I've come to the point that I accept this as part of my life. I accept that I wear diapers. It is just another part of my clothing that I put on every day. In fact, sometimes I feel more comfortable in diapers than out. I just don't care anymore. Most of what I have to deal with is never knowing when something is going to happen. I wear diapers for that moment when I'm glad I had one on. It's not always that I need it or use it. Sometimes I'm good and others not. Some days are better than others. And I guess that's what gets me. Its so unpredictable. I just never know. Yesterday was a not better than other day and I was changing a few times throughout the day because it just kept flowing. And today didn't start out too well either. And this morning, as I was taping up my diaper and realized I'm wet before I even left the house (which doesn't happen often) I just felt "Ugh!" I really don't have any other way of wording it. I'm just frustrated. I accept it, but I hate it.

Sorry, just needed to vent.

Brother, I know how you feel. Something that always bugs me is changing and not 60 seconds later I realize I have wet myself already. Sometimes we just look forward to the very few times we get to be dry. Look more up if you still need to vent.

I just might get on yahoo later and see if you are there. I'm done work at 12.

All too familiar to me. I can go 2 maybe three days without having an accident. Than out of the blue I have to change 3 times in one day. so unpredictable.

This post definitely struck a chord with me. I struggle with this every day, some days I leak more than others. I don't have all out floods because I do have control of my bladder but leak a fair amount after I urinate. As always some days are better than others, and some days the urinary frequency is worse than others. On really bad days I'm going 15-25 times with leakage every time. I always wear protection of some sort and on the bad days which seem more often than not, I end up with a Foley catheter just to feel normal.......

Speaking of an "Ugh" point and not knowing what or when it could happen. it could be worse - you could be bowel incontinent

Seriously, I do understand. Although I have some control, my bladder often goes on "autopilot" and does its own thing 5 to 10 times an hour (small amounts, of course). My way of handling it is just to prepare for the worse every time I leave the house. That way I won't be disappointed. If it were not for my preventive enemas, the bowel incontinence would be totally unpredictable - 2 to 3 times a day!

I know just what you mean some days I am continuously wet where as others I stay dry for some time.

Well, I've had some firsts this week. First time I was wetting an felt it running down my let while at work. Had to stop what I was doing and go change. That was fun. And for the first time last night I went to change and didn't realize I was leaking and felt it leaking down my leg after I took the wet diaper off. Not fun at all!

Also, I had been dealing with feeling sick the past few days with a slight fever. That broke and I'm starting to feel better. But, I think I have a UTI to deal with now. That complicates things because I never know when I have to go compared with the discomfort of the UTI and I get no warning that I'm going to go. Just Oh, there it is and there it goes.
