My husband has just had his weekly conversation with his brother about their dad (undiagnosed, but we suspect vaD, maybe plus Alz). FiL lives on his own, needs a zimmer to move and spends most of his time in his recliner. He has told us that he has a carer to wash his bum cos he can't reach it, and we have also thought that he may have a bit of urge incontinence that he's not owning up to. However BiL has just said that it is more than that and he has poohed on the floor and walked it round the house (apparently unknowingly).....the carers have said they won't come back until the carpets have been cleaned....understandable, but does this mean that they might throw him off their books if this becomes a regular thing (they come once a day at the moment but have also said they need to do twice now).
BiL lives an hour away and can only visit one evening and at the weekend, we are across the world and rely on phone calls with FiL and BiL and try to piece things together......thanks to lurking on TP this news is not the big shock it might otherwise have been. Sorry if I haven't given enough info, trying to get this out while people are still up....hope you all get a good night's sleep, you are all amazing people!
PS any suggestion for 'non-scratchy' pull-ups? Thank you x
