Patient Perspective: Incontinence Is Part of My Life, But It Doesn’t Define Me

Patient Perspective: Incontinence is part of my life, but it doesn’t define me.

I refuse to let something like incontinence get in the way of my happiness.

I’m 50 years old, and for the past three years, I’ve had a leaky bladder. I know what you’re thinking. “What? She’s so young! How does she cope? She must be devastated!” Actually, I’m not at all devastated, and have coped just fine with my bladder leakage. I refuse to let something like incontinence get in the way of my happiness.
