Being admitted to Hospital is my main worry, above everything else. I’ve had AP all my life, and let’s face it, the older you get the more likely the wheels will fall off and you may end up there. Lying in bed surrounded by others is I suppose the very worst situation for someone who has this affliction. But worrying won’t change anything, if you’re ill you’re ill. I think that the nurses and doctors should understand although it’s likely they’ve never heard of AP. but they’ll be familiar with milder cases of bashful bladder. A patient could ask for a bed bottle and keep it handy until things quieten down, say during the night. Worst case scenario is a catheter I suppose, so that is the ultimate sanction against AP. I just keep my ever ageing fingers heavily crossed!
