South of Pagosa Springs

With a prolific oak understory, it seems like there aughta be a bear or two.






The two satchels on the hood are recent additions. The blue one holds fabric incontinence pads. The purple has doggy pee pads and several urinary incontinence "devices" that have been, over the last month or so, proven to be useless and now await disposal. 

Most disappointing were the condom catheters. These interesting devices go on similar to a pregnancy-prevention tool, but have adhesive to help keep them in place. After several days of use the adhesive took patches of the top layer of skin with it as I removed the device to replace it with a new one. It took several weeks for the skin to grow back. As a Buddhist monk is purported to have said, "It's always something."

My initial enthusiasm means I now have $150.00 worth. If you're interested, I'll make you a deal. Coloplast Freedom Clear Advantage with Aloe Vera 31mm (22 of 'em) Ref# 2330140 and 25 (30mm) Coloplast Conveen Optima Ref# 22030.

  1. Beautiful light filtering through the pines.
    And i do appriciate you talk so openly about your incontinence. As many of us are getting older, many of us might have to deal with this one day. And i like your practical attitude.

    1. At first I was having difficulty peeing, especially at night. My physician told me it's a common condition for older men and prescribed tamsulosin. The drug cured the problem with no (obvious) side-effects. The incontinence, they tell me, may be due to prostate cancer.
