Hi all

Still here

I still check from time to time but have to admit that it has been very quiet of late.

I'm still figuring out retirement and dealing with IC. These days I have F-IC pretty much under control by avoiding butter/margarine. It took me a lot of diet experiments to figure that one out! If I stay home in the morning, I can enjoy a coffee again. I just need the toilet nearby at the 2-3 hour mark.

My diabetes keeps the U-IC train going. During the day, I wear a TENA pull-up for insurance against surprise accidents. But most of the time I have enough warning to use the toilet. Sometimes I am tempted to go back to underwear, until some close call or accident occurs.

At night the urges remain a problem requiring a diaper. And sometimes a BM starts immediately upon getting out of bed. That's embarrassing but kept under a pj. It makes me reluctant to vacation with shared cabin rental.

But otherwise doing ok and looking forward to the summer months!
