embarassing but the truth has to be told

Posted by marty on January 11, 2002 at 20:00:08:
Since my surgery four weeks ago (MMA/GA) i have had two episodes that I have possible explanations for. i have caught myself dreaming so hard that I have ended up wetting myself to the point that I have been lucky enough to realize what is going on and have awaken with minimal damage to bed and my ego. I beleive that this could be a result of being on a liquid diet and the fact that I am actually dreaming (which means I'm getting deep sleep when I'm not having the aches associated with healing). The other possible explanation is that the surgery has thrown me off with anthesia, catherter and so forth.
I'm thinking about going out and buying some depends to hold me through tell my diet gets a little more solid. Not only can I not kiss my wife because of the fact that my lips can't move and that I have dragon breath due not getting in there the way I used to now she has to deal with a 34 year old guy wearing depends. She still loves me no matter what so I'm okay there but it's a lot to deal with.
I thought I would add some humor to my situation on a Friday night. Has this happened to anyone else. Who is brave enough to tell.....
