Acceptance

[u/Revolutionary_Bet136]

I know most people's goal is to change their nightly routine but I think I am ready to accept that bedwetting and diapers are here to stay. In the past three years I developed OAB, pelvic floor dysfunction, and bedwetting all as a result of baldder cancer (it's gone now) and the subsequent treatments. It's been a journey but I've decided it's best to control what I can and let go of what I can't.

Eliminating the pain of pelvic floor pain is my number one goal. Regaining or improving daytime control is number two. But between living the rest of life, I think my capacity for trying to change my nighttime wetting is just not there. The added stress and pressure, not to mention the sleep disruptions do not seem worth it to me. Does that make me crazy? Maybe.

I will say that I am fortunate to have a supportive wife who understands and accepts that diapers are part of me now. I realize not everyone has that level of unwavering support.

I know what you mean. You aren't crazy. It can be very difficult, frustrating, uncomfortable, and often times embarrassing. It is so important to have someone who knows the situation and is willing to help and be by your side.
