@heavyphil glad to hear that things are much better now. Thanks for sharing your experience.
@heavyphil -- Interesting comment. Although I consider myself fully continent, I've noticed when sitting on the toilet during bowel movements that if simply pass gas I also have an involuntary urine release. For whatever reason, I simply don't seem to have a lot gas in my old age so it isn't something I've had to worry about. But if I feel the urge to pass gas, I'll hold it until I can get to a toilet. I never mentioned it as I thought it was just me 🙂 It's actually a bit of a relief knowing it's not just me. I certainly don't know but I suspect that since passing gas happens infrequently our subconcious minds just haven't figured out how to handle the new normal when it comes to passing gas without releasing urine. For sleeping I think I might go back to the 3' X 3' waterproof pad based on your comment. Best wishes.
@heavyphil Thanks so much for suggestions.
