We visit the neurologist, a little later with appointments as they are.
We were 10 minutes late. Google maps led us astray - we were surfing through the medical complex across the street. We called them, and fortunately they held our slot, because somebody else's follow-up showed up 15 minutes early.
We go in. He tests arm, leg, hand, foot, finger, and toe strength. He tests reflexes. He asks about my symptoms, and comes up with a theory:
I've spent the last 30 years of my life training my bladder muscles to hold it in, that now they are too tight and hard to relax. So now I need to untrain them, by keeping hydrated, getting plenty of sleep, and peeing every hour.
He schedules a brain and lumbar-spine MRI anyway, for the next Monday, Jan 30th just to be sure.
We schedule a followup for about 6 weeks later, not expecting complications.
