I Don't Mind Being Incontinent

Yep. The cross I must bear. I was born with a slight defect to my spine that caused a number of not so slight functions to, shall we say not work properly. Unfortunately my continence was one of these function. Fortunately walking was not so I can thank my lucky stars for that at least.

I've been to more urologists and continence specialists than I can count on all my fingers and toes and so far there has been nothing that can be offered that comes close to suiting my lifestyle but then again I've never known anything different than being incontinent so to be honest I'm pretty used to it and function just fine using absorbent products.

It did cause a lot of trouble growing up but now I'm an adult I see there are much worse things . I took many a knock of self confidence from horrible, poorly informed and shallow people but meeting the love of my life who not only accepts but embraces my problem and actually turns it into a positive has helped me improve this 100 fold.

I guess what I'm trying to say is; Incontinence is kinda s**tty (forgive the pun) but its really not the end of the world and no matter how hard it seems, it could always be worse.

Chins up guys/gals and stay hydrated
