As mentioned elsewhere, in addition to double incontinence, I also manage(?) a paralyzed stomach. At approximately 1:00 a.m., Thursday, 23 July 2015, I woke up, unable to breathe, the contents of my stomach clogging my airway. In a panic, I fought to resume breathing, and succeeded. However, while I was fighting to breathe, my bladder and bowel erupted, filling my diaper. I was wearing a Molicare plus a pair of plastic pants, which did their job perfectly. The bedding was unaffected; my wife suspected nothing. Times such as this make me grateful for diapers, protection that does its work well. With my life on the line, I do not know how I would function if, in addition to being suddenly unable to breathe, I also were faced with a bowel and bladder cleanup. The medication I have for this does not always work, and, when it fails, my life becomes a gamble. But, usually, my diapers do work, and for that I am extremely grateful.
