I had never had this problem before.  Of course I had never been sixty eight years old before either and that might have had something to do with it. My doctor seemed to think it was all the result of an enlarged prostate.  I was unable to sleep the night through without having to get up several times to go to the bathroom.  When I would get up it was with an urgency that I had only experienced a few times in my life and now it was a couple of times a night.  Finally it felt like there was a pain in my bladder when I would go.
