Cadence has a adopted a new, healthier life style which involves her drinking the appropriate amount of liquid every day. This is a lot more than she is accustomed to and she keeps finding herself desperate to pee in awkward situations every day. She consults her doctor to ask what she can do to ameliorate her situation. The doctor is seeing her at his home at the weekend since she claimed she had something of an emergency, and as she sits facing the medical man, she squirms in her chair as the urge to pee really hits her, saying, "This is part of the problem right now." The doctor says there are two things to consider: first, because she is now taking in more fluid on a regular basis, her bladder will gradually expand to hold more urine and she will be able to hold it for longer; second, in the short term, she has to learn to control the impulse to pee. He explains that this is mostly caused by panic, the fear of public embarrassment and humiliation. As Cadence sits with her legs crossed and fidgeting anxious, he instructs her in some breathing exercises to calm herself down, and her present situation is an ideal test case. Cadence gets her breathing under control and feels a little calmer, but her bladder is still bursting and there seems nothing she can do to avoid pissing herself in front of the doctor.
