DEAR DR. ROACH:
1 am an 83-year-old
female with bladder
problems. 1 get up two
or three times a night
and usually make it to
the bathroom. 1 thought
it would be good to see a
doctor in case the prob
lem got worse. An op-
eration was mentioned,
which I am not interest
ed in, so they gave me a
pessary, which has been
good and bad.
It is comfortable and
I don't have to use ihe
bathroom as often, but
now I don't get bath-
room warnings and
don't always make it
to the bathroom. I also
leak urine with coughs

you've been waiting for:
After a period of sudden
stops and fitful starts, your
plans can now move ahead
with no significant disrup-
tions.
AQUARIUS (January
20 to February 18) You're
in an exceptionally strong
position this week to make
decisions on many still-
unresolved matters, espe-
