So far, so good, in some ways, apart from the tiredness, but the thing I dread most is INCONTINENCE, ESPECIALLY FAECAL INCONTINENCE. I dread it so much that I think it might be the thing that will tip the scales between coping, just, at home, and looking for a Care Home.
Due to arthritis I can't kneel, and can't wring out cloths very well for the same reason.
When I read about Dementia patients not understanding the problem, so that their Carers Are coping with pee and excrement in all sorts of places I think it must be the most ghastly thing about the illness.
Any comments and or advice on the subject would be very welcome. ( Please feel free to make jokes as well...Humour does help!)
