I’ve been powering down water for my kidneys and the Bronchitis. I leaked a bit before all this, but lately I leak every time I cough. Flood sometimes too.
Yes, I went to the toilet before we left the house. Yes, we left on a round of errands which included Amvets Thrift Store, grocery store, brunch, then home before he headed toward the museum. As soon as we got there to our first stop, I knew I was doomed. I took two steps down one row and began to leak. It was really awful. This store is not noted for letting its customers use their bathrooms.
She told me I could…it was like Christmas.
By the time I got to the back of the store, I was wringing wet. In the bathroom there was no toilet paper, but there were seat covers. Back out in the aisles, the thought dawned on slow me that I was walking in a Thrift Store. They had pants…denims that said they were my size. They had nice pink underpants. They even had a Levi Coat that I could try on. George came up with the final touch, a pair of bright red flats. A whole new wardrobe and all at half thrift store price too.
It made it all a little better.
I came directly home after brunch and showered.

I know the feeling. They probably sold Tena lady too. I have had a bad cough for months and we are both of a certain age.

I'm glad you found some treasures on your outing. I need a pair of new jeans but I'm not in a mood to try any on.

Oh, how wonderful to record this. I just love (not truely) having aging kidneys and bladder...no one warned me about this! How smart G. is to take advantage of where you were. I shopped in a dollar store grocery and stuff store this week, myself. Such good buys!
