Still leaking and now heart issues

It's been 15 months since my prostatectomy/divertiulotomy, and I'm still leaking...sometimes a little, sometimes a lot.  As a result, I still wear diapers.  I guess I'm to the point that wearing a diaper isn't that bad.  I'm even not as embarrassed/anxious beeing seen in one by any nurses or doctors.  Now, however, I've been diagnosed with ventricular tachycardia.  I will be having a nuclear stress test in a couple of days to determine what is going on where, and what course of action needs to occur.  Getting old is not for sissies.

    Sorry to read that

    Nuclear stress tests are no fun, I can attest to that. But hopefully, the outcome will bring you peace on that front.
