Urinary Incontinence Support Group
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary excretion of urine from one's body. It is often temporary, and it almost always results from an underlying medical condition. Stress, functional, and urge incontinence are the most common forms. Share with other support group members and learn from their stories and experiences.

I used to visit a guy in for life who was a bedwetter. The doctor sent him for urology tests & he was put on the waiting list for bladder enlargement surgery - a long long list. Staff were mean: every morning he asked for clean sheets; every morning they asked him loudly why he needed them, in front of all staff and inmates. And no plastic sheet - due risk of suicide. He shared a room with a guy who was reliably dry.
