I have just managed to do something I thought I never would. I washed my mother's genitals for the first time this weekend. She had peed in her diaper, was a little smelly & needed a change so I just went ahead & did it.
I know it sounds silly but it was my mother & I just could not do it before. It was definitely a no-go zone for me. Up till a month or so ago I could manage to talk her through washing her genitals herself & I would wash the rest if necessary. But she is declining so fast that it became clear that I would either have to wash her myself or have her stink of urine. I managed.
It truly is amazing what we can learn to do. Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
