Ok, I am "coming out" of the "closet" in regard to my incontinence (thats a funny term.. sounds like I'm talking about sexuality rather than a medical problem
) on Facebook and am publishing a youtube video on the same topic for all to see. This is bold, gutsy, and its the only way to do things. I am TIRED of the stigma.. I want to raise awareness. I honestly do't care about it anymore.. so in terms of this subforum topic, I deal with it by not giving a rat's a## who knows anymore.Just in case some folks don't have FB.. here's the text in all its glory:
OK..I have alluded to it, so I may as well come out and say it.. Time to come public to end stigma. I, Robert Kenneth Sullivan, am among the 30+ million individuals suffering from urinary and bowel incontinence in the united states. I have no shame, and do not care at all who knows as long as they respect me. I am seeking treatment for it in April. Iti s a surgical procedure called Interstim, please pray for its success. I deal with moderate to heavy urinary incontinence on a daily basis, and bowel incontinence on a more occasional basis. I am coming out to shatter the stigma and raise awareness. I don't care what knowing this does. I'm tired of hiding. I'm tired of the stigma that surrounds this condition. It needs to end NOW!!!!!!
And yes, this is exactly why I founded CARE...i know first hand what low quality products are out there, and what a difference having quality makes.
Yeah, its like a huge burden has been taken off my shoulders.. I feel free from hiding, free from awkward questions of why I have a backpack. Free from having to sneak around with diapers when changing at work or a public place. I am FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peace out!
Rob
