cut for medical stuff around body function

okay so I have issues around pee (see https://ysobel.dreamwidth.org/366745.html ) as it is, but lately I've been having leakage issues, usually as I'm transferring over to the commode chair; sometimes a small amount leaks out, sometimes my bladder just goes 'fuck it' and releases like half the contents. It always results in extra mess, sometimes requires a change of pants, and a couple times has needed change of pants and shirt AND washing the wheelchair cushion.

Saw my doctor today.

We're checking for uti but her assumption is menopause-related pelvic floor dysfunction, only I can't really do PT or even see an ob/gyn because my legs are fixed in place (less than a handswidth between knees) and don't move so they can't get in to see or feel what's going on. So, uh, I should get Poise pads, or something.

(sigh)

I know my body is doing the best it can, but.
