I just came from the Urologist's office.
OK, Urinary Incontinence is not a fun subject, but I'll admit to a little problem. I have to go to Physical Therapy for it and I'm a little curious about what kind of exercises those will be. Has anybody done this? (Female, that is). She did an ultrasound and told me my bladder was half-full. Does that make me a urinary optimist?

1. This must be Urinary Problem Month in this forum
I'm having bladder surgery next week, Pharoah just had surgery and now poor you too. No, it's not a fun subject. I think that after I recover from my surgery I too might be getting some exercises.

I had to laugh at your urinary optimist line... :D The laughs have been a little hard to come by lately.

3. Thank you for laughing at my joke.
The doctor wasn't amused. (These Urologists have no sense of humor).
