I think I am winning the diaper race ...

Yesterday I had a great Father's Day. I was able to spend most of the day with the grandchildren. We went to Lawrencetown Beach and got our feet wet in the Atlantic Ocean. It was wonderful!

I also received my phone calls from my daughter in Ottawa and son in Saskatoon.

Days like yesterday are worth living. They are enjoyable and remind me what is important in MY life. Kids are true legacies and being a father and grandfather is another gift I sometimes take for granted. I don't anymore that is for sure.

Yesterday also reminded me that I am improving with respect to my "peeing" capability and control. When we came back from the beach we started to get ready for our regular Sunday feast and enjoy each other's company. This was when our Demetrius had to have his diaper changed. His Mom was in the process of getting a dry diaper from his stash (diaper bag) and he then decided to "let go" again. You would have though he was putting out a fire!

When I seen this, it reminded me that I am improving. My bladder control has improved immensely since my surgery 6 weeks ago. I would say my bladder control is at 80% right now. I only need a changind twice a day from the previous hourly ritual. Thank God for that.

I am fortunate; I am winning small battles against the monster. Enough battles won and maybe the war will be won. At a minimum ... I thinks I am pulling ahead in the diaper race! You better pick up the pace Demetrius.
