Bladder control was improving, now degrading.

One thing no one has mentioned is our diet. Thanksgiving was a "two steps backward" for me in my march towards continence, which had been progressing slowly one step at a time. After 7 months of that slow progress, my urologist had me go to Pelvic floor Physical Therapy which helped dramatically in just 6 weeks. Then this holiday week with family arriving and lots of food and drinks, I was sent back in time. I leaked much more than I had been. Yesterday my PT handed me a list of foods and drinks that irritate the bladder and I had consumed every single one of them in more than my usual quantities while celebrating with family. I'm just crossing my fingers that, with continuation of my exercises, and attention to diet, I will return to progress.
