That's actually really good to know.
I'm a bit worried about going back to work (computer tech) but it sounds like distractions will help with frequency. I'll have plenty of distractions.

Looking at my post again, there is one other thing I'd add. For me, it also helped when I didn't have to worry about it. For example, I still have an absorbent pad under the bed sheet. I've never had an accident sleeping, but it just gives me that little bit of extra assurance so I can not worry about it. Similarly, early on when I was still kind of worrying about having an accident I realized things went better if I was out hiking or in some similar venue where it didn't matter if I had a little accident. I could forget about it. I'm retired, but if I was still working I'd probably have worn depends when I went back, or at least a liner for a while so I didn't have to worry about accidents. Plus if I was still working I'd definitely wear dark pants for a while. There's nothing wrong with using a few aids to take off some of the stress while while you give yourself some time. Early on the urge would come on quickly. After almost 4 months, I really feel like I'm pretty much back to normal. So a little extra insurance (depends or liner) might help your confidence while you're getting back to normal. All part of just being able to relax and forget about it. Just my 2 cents.
