bladder issues while traveling.....Re: Checking in

[Guest guest]

Now, can you imagine what it was like driving all the way from Arizona to Alaska and back again the next year? rofl There are stretches where there isn't any where to stop for 200+ miles. The Yukon was the worst for no potty spots. I have peed by the road all across Canada (sorry Cait and .hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Hey Cait,I can relate to the bladder/travel situation. We were 6people in a car for 12 hours, and it was tough to geteveryone in 'sync' with their bathroom needs! My husbandhates to stop, so it made it all the more challenging!Stay cool, and keep drinking!love, Kate Checking inTo: MSersLife > I know, late so Mom Sharon can send me to the corner.

Hey that's okay with me Sharon . I've littered your side of the border too. packs a bunch of old towels. Not sure if it's the ms or age but when my bladder says 'go', it is the boss. I've noticed I've lost quite a bit of feeling doing Keigels (sp?)

And I sure hope to come back as a man since getting back up after squatting is next to impossible for me now, Or I used to sit on my foot to help hold it ... can't do that any more either. I'll save you the gory details about my 'stop' at a MN deer road kill spot!

hugs,

Cait

try driving from Pirmasens, Germany to Calais, France in the early 60's - I wasn't into group toidy - I beat everyone into the room at night to get to the potty - the first time I had a shock and almost peed the floor - I had never seen a bidet and still don't understand them

Cait....Now I'm curious about your stop in MN. I know what you mean about squatting because I can't do it either. Well, I should say I can squat but I have one heck of a time getting back up. I am always in fear I will land my butt in what I just did:) Then later my knees are mush and I can barely stand. SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
