Bladder stone issues

For the last week or so Kevin has been having urinary problems, some
blood in his urine, sometimes can't pee, sometimes pees every 15
minutes. Yesterday he saw his urologist who did a cystoscope and
discovered a bladder stone which is irritating the bladder etc. He will
be having a cystoscope(???) under anesthesia to remove the stone.
Urologist says this is most likely caused by the IMRT Kevin had.

With the doctors permission we are leaving for a cruise on Saturday and
Kevin will have the procedure when we get home. He is waiting for a call
telling us what day it will be done.

As long as we are on the cruise ship and Kevin knows where the nearest
bathroom is, it should not be a problem. I am more concerned about his
having an accident on the way to the airport/hotel/ship, on the plane etc.

So my question to all of you is, what kind of incontinence product would
be the best for him, so if he has to pee and is nowhere near a bathroom?
I know there are pads for men, there are depends, but I don't know
what would have enough absorbency if he really has to pee.

thanks,
sue

p.s. should have a new PSA in the next couple of days!!

Sorry, wrong newsgroup.

Carry a model ship with you. That way if he has to go he can pee over the side...
