So I read posts about bed wetting so knew it was coming but not as prepared as should have been.
There has been a funny smell in husbands room for a while but I couldn't pin point what it was as the bed wasn't wet and he washed.
He did have one day in which he wet the bed but said he had a dream about peeing so I changed bed and put it down to that. Nothing happened for the next few days.
We then went away and he wet the bed EVERY day. Luckily he was in a child's room which had waterproof cover and 2 beds. So I was able to wash the sheet and use the one from spare bed. He always has pee bottle beside so shouldn't of been a problem.
I bought padded pants which made no difference.
We are now home and I went into his room, bent down and smelt the carpet and sure enough it smelt of pea so it's possibly been going on a while. I asked him calmly if he'd been having any accidents but just got a lot of nasty abuse.
My grand daughter had an accident in this room when she was about 3 (5 years ago) The mattress wasn't wet. I washed all the bed linen and that was the end of that so I thought! But now it seems according to my OH. The bed has stuck since my daughters accident and has nothing to do with him. He's been sleeping in this room for about 3 years now and never mentioned it before but has always been someone who never takes blame. It's always someone else's fault.
Contacted doctors and was just offered antibiotics which I refused and insisted on seeing someone so have an appointment tomorrow to rule out any infections and to take a water sample (Obviously it's the dementia)
Oh well looks like the next stage to contend with. Is this middle stage or later stage??
