Leaky stomach:No matter how many antibiotics you have taken, read the insert. When they tell you to take the antibiotics with food, do. My stomach began bleeding Thursday night. Not pleasant at all.
Leaky bladder: Sigh. I choked again at work Friday. It wasn't as bad as it could have been. I tried. If I'd been wearing protection I wouldn't have gone home. Only half the volume burst through the gates, so I'm making improvements. I happened to have a pair of jeans at work, so I was able to change. That's the silver lining.
Leaky eyes: A number of times this past week I've noticed my eyes leaking. Suddenly there will be water at the corners of my eyes and even on my face.Odd.Then, I review what I was thinking about and it is usually something sad. And when I consider something sad I'm usually thinking thoughts to cheer myself up. ("I had jeans at work. I wasn't as bad as it could have been.")
I remember the days when I could just sit down and have a good feel-sorry-for-myself sob. (I remember at least two.) Now my eyes are rebelling and crying on their own while my brain plods through these coping strategies.
(Oh, and here's another bright spot: Pain free PT this week. She figured I had enough trauma with the urodynamic test, so she took it easy on me.)
They say misery loves comapany, so if it's any consolation, I share 2 of the 3 leaky situations with you... no leaky stomach. I do sometimes long for a good old fashioned ugly cry, but lately it seems just the leaky eyes. But SO MANY THINGS make me tear up. It's ridiculous...

The west is dry all over. The east is flooding all over. In St. Louis, the flooding seems to be localized.
Go west, young woman, go west.

Can't remember when I last cried, or (fingers crossed) had a bladder malfunction. And periods are a thing of the past. But sweat? By the bucket.

I cry more easily now. Age related perhaps? Dog food commercials are a big catalyst for tears. I am such a sap. The bladder leaks too much too. That does not make me cry, yet anyway.

Kristie - it IS a consolation, thank you.
~~Silk - West County, maybe. Back to the doctor Weds.
Big Dot - Ah, damn, I just cried today. I did sweat out in the yard, though.

Benchmark - no Gary had work and I had yardwork. Plus that thing is damn expensive.
