Hi,
Nice , you are 80 yrs old, active and health concious.

In old age , pee , and stool can pass involuntarily because our bodys sphincter become loose.

But in your its only 2 days, wait, hope you will be fine.
Some , pelvic muscle exerercise is helpful.

Consult with a physician , if any other problem also assocuated with this.
thanks
