Hi just had to tell you ,was woke up this morning with Peter standing over me he was in a state , bless him he had gone to the toilet and don't know what happen but it was all over the bathroom he has never done this before, he was very upset , the thing is I am not very good with this or so I thought .l hope I did right I told him it was ok we all have accidents and I cleaned him up put him back in bed and then clean it all up to my surprise it did not bother me , it made me realize what is in stall for me with the things I will have to do and now I know I can do this look after him and keep him safe I know its going to be hard but I am going to do my best for him he is just like a little boy and I want to hold him and tell him it will be alright but it won't Will it, hope you don't mine me telling you but I really felt proud of myself the way I handled it , I know I sound daft but when I helped my sister's look after my mum I wasn't very good with that side of it but I did it , but this time I just was not bothered I wonder why.

Well done Christmas - its not easy to do many of the personal parts of caring. Not only did you manage the physical part of it but you obviously dealt with it in a way that showed such love and kindness to Peter and that will have meant a lot to him.
I am not surprised you are pleased at how you coped, well done you ☺
Take care x

Well done for keeping calm and just getting on with it.
It's the part of my mum's care I find hardest as well.

You should be proud of yourself Christmas, that is a part of caring which took a while to get used to. The funny thing is even OH got used to me doing a little cleaning up too, though she gets terribly embarrassed and calming her down is now the hardest part.
Keep it up.

Well done for coping so well, especially with something that was previously outside of your "comfort zone". It's amazing what you find you can do, isn't it, and you deserve to feel proud of yourself. xxx
Well done from me too Christmas and Tony. I always thought that would be the line in the sand for me. Turns out it isn't. I think when something new faces us we just gather our strength and get on with it. If we can deal with things that's great. If we can't that's also ok. We shouldn't ever feel guilty if we meet a barrier we can't surmount.
Wishing you both much strength. x

Thank you everyone I have felt so much better in myself because it was something I did not think I could coup with but now know I can ,I am getting there xxxxx Christmas.
This was something I thought I could never cope with but when the time came, just had to get on with it and managed ok, so I can understand that you felt proud, quite right too. well done Christmas, and everyone else too xxx
