This is great news, Liane!! Isn't it nice to finally feel " normal " ? We went

to a play tonight and then to a restuarant for a snack, gone a total of 4

hours, and I had no problems at all. It was so nice!!!

BTW, I wrote you a thank you on the Problem list but the moderator sent it

back and told me even though it was nice it was against list rules. So, I

want to thank you for helping me overcome this problem!!!

Life IS good! This is the first weekend that I've been able to go out and do

things with my dh w/o worrying about being close to a bathroom. I'd

forgotton what it was like. I got so used to never going anywhere yet at the

same time it was driving me bonkers! Again....THANK YOU!!!!

, Thanks for moderating that list. I hope you didn't get the impression

that I was upset that you sent my post back. I just didn't realize it was

against list rules. I can't complain about the format. It's what helped me

more than my own dr. could!! I completely understand your reasoning behind

it. I, too, was glad to see that Liane was on this list and I could thank

her here. You keep doing the good job you are.

explained that the list is strictly for questions and answers that are

on topic. If a lot of people start sending thank yous then that leads to

other responses and the list gets bogged down. She's trying to keep it as

informative as possible w/o any chit chat. We can do that here.
