Rick,
Conidering you have only had your catheter out for 2 months, you are doing very good.
It took me over three months for day time continence.
I am 16 months post op, and still leak at night.
Not alot, but I still leak.
Personally, I feel it's a small price to pay to be alive, cancer free, and return to doing everthing I did prior to RC.
I went trough 13 weeks of physical therapy for pelvic floor muscles.
You might want to talk to your doctor about that.
Here are some exercise's you may want to try.
You just can't do them for a day, and expect to be good to go.

This whole deal is a test in patients. Nothing comes easy, and nothing is free.
You have to really want to get better, and make sacrifice's to do so.
I did not really feel like this was all behind me for at least a year.
5 months, is not a very long time considering the set backs you had.
Until you stop thinking this surgery was a mistake, you probally won't improve.
Enjoy being alive, Jim
