I wish people here would quit with the "diaper Don" comments.

40. I do not think it is the diaper for which he is getting mocked

when people use the term.

Nor is it the makeup or the shoe lifts nor the Adderal (likely the cause of the incontinence) nor any other artificial thing he uses to pretend he is an "Aryan God" in perfect health and erfect shape. What's being mocked is the pretense.

Last fall I had to wear them for about 6 weeks starting with a hospital stay after a fall nd continuing through rehab and after returning home until I finally stabilized. I still keep ahealthy supply of them on had, because what happened once could happen again. I'm not offended because I wasn't pretending I was perfect - I was seeking and receiving treatment, rehab, and assistance from friends. I know no one is talking about me.

Of course that doesn't mean we don't need to listrn to those who are bothered by it. I'm confident no one here has any intention of hurting anyone else, least of all someone with a genuine medical issue.
