Heather, I can certainly relate to your urinary challenges. I think I have read that you use a WalkAid? I do too since Feb '08. I have often thought about the consequences of shorting it out after an accident. How would I explain that one? Am I alone in this thought? Am I crazy? help!

I carry extra underwear in my purse all the time. Have needed it from time to time too. Always wear protection too but sometimes need to change anyway. I also fall asleep in the bathroom in the middle of the night. Other times I wake up in bed, uncover and then don't get up. I wake up later and wonder why I'm so doggone cold. Realize that I'm all uncovered and figure out that 'oh yes, I WAS getting up' but guess I didn't quite make it. That is why I wear Depends to bed. Also saves having to wash the floor down the hallway to the bathroom in the mornings. Don't we all just have the most fun stories that we share with our TM family that we for the most part will never meet in person. Certainly not like the prim and proper days of our grandparents or ancestors prior to them.

Jude ... we definitely share a close-knit bond.....even discussing our most "embarrassing" moments... I can't tell you how many times I didn't quite make it to the "restroom" so I always had an extra pair of clothes in my car... there was that time at school (I taught "computer" in an elementary school. Well I didn't make it... There I was in the hallway standing AGAINST the wall waiting for the kids to go by. When I got back to the lab I told the tech I worked with that I "fell in the camode"...... I am rather thin so they believed me.... home I went. After that I always kept a change in my desk. Another time I sat at my desk for what seemed like hours waiting for some teachers to get out of room so I could go in the Tech closet and change. I finally went the "depends" route. Now I take "sanctura" and it does a good job for me. Tho I think there was article that some incontinence drugs cause memory loss..... just what I need to hear.... I'll be 63 next week... and I've always blamed my memory loss and my four kids!! Love ya Trudy Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles; It empties today of its strengths. ________________________________ From: heyjude48...@aol.com Date: Fri, 1 May 2009 22:50:44 -0400 Subject: Re: [TMIC] RE: wow, you work too hard Trudy To: mother...@msn.com; TMIC-list@eskimo.com You are so funny, Trudy...we do have our own vocabulary regarding TM...kind of like twins do.
