Well, this was my best week of running since the surgery. I got in 4 workouts totaling 21 miles, and 2800 feet of climbing. Our hike/run yesterday was the big one, 7 miles with just over 1500 feet of climbing. I felt good, Robin and Maggie suffered a little, but Robin is starting her training for the 2018 Wild Wild West Marathon in Lone Pine. She has never done it, and I will be her pacer and support the whole way. I was able to go for the 2 hours on just one of my customized Depends, so my bladder control must be improving, and there was no blood in my urine after either workout this past weekend. I was even able to down a few beers Saturday night at our friends surprise birthday party without peeing myself. It helps to stay seated when drinking.
On a lighter note, another thing I discovered, was to be careful what you eat if you are experiencing incontinence like I am because some of the foods leave a peculiar odor in the depends. I'm talking about asparagus. We all know that it smells rather quickly when you tinkle after eating some, but when you dribble, the odor stays in your pants. I discovered this after last night at the surprise party. That smell just wouldn't go away. I know, the health benefits of eating asparagus outweigh the odor of your urine after eating it, but it took forever to get rid of that smell!
