Following the Rules
It is somewhere
between following my own rules of "Go Before You Go", or the
situation making the rule irrelevant because it simply did not apply. I left
church yesterday feeling alright and planned my route home in the rain.
I stopped off at
Marks & Spencer, hoping to get a Christmas cake: that thick icing covering
the juicy and moist fruitcake, that bargain offer after the season, going for a
song. They had everything but that.
I could have made for
home directly, but I took a circuitous route, going through an arcade or two,
hoping to see a cake shop, until I was approaching home from an entirely
different side of town.
The Cold Walk Home
As I was walking
through the breezy, cold, barely above-zero weather; a scenario that activates
the bladder at a higher frequency and urgency. I quickened my steps, hoping to
get home just in time. Much as I did enter the foyer intact, I did not make it
into my apartment before an unfortunate recurrence of something I thought was
history.
I can report that I
have a sufficiently longer time between visits to the toilet, though I might
wake up thrice during the night for that too. I do try to gauge what
opportunities I have to get to places before I need to wield my "Just
Can't Wait" card. It is, however, not an exact science.
Managing the Reality
This is something I
have grown accustomed to living with. The apparent safety that incontinence
underwear offers means the dangers of embarrassment are reduced. It is usually
a leak, then a full wetting.
In view of this,
getting rid of prostate cancer through treatment, rather than having full
bladder, bowel, and sexual function whilst under the threat of cancer you
cannot predict, is always the better option. I would write on the matter of
sexual desire at some point.
