Thanks. I'm not complaining. I consider all this a minor miracle. I'm just curious what steps people used to get control.
Obviously I d/n have the same sensation to tell me I'm full at night, so getting up every two hours is useless because my neo bladder already let loose. I'm supposing I won't be "normal" until I expand the bladder and can hold it for four hours. Perhaps by then I will be able to hold it while asleep and, as you said, get up halfway thru the night. I had to do that before the surgery anyway due to BPH, so no big deal.
