My first time here and honestly destroyed at the rate of decline in my 55 year old partner. I had to be away for 16 days and had my partner cared for full time by a nurse/friend. The nurse informed that on one occasion my partner had left a faeces on the toilet cistern, and had lost the ability to know how and when to use toilet paper. When I returned the bedroom smelt odd. Two days later I was changing the beds which involves rotating the mattress, to my absolute horror there was faeces wrapped up in lots of toilet paper under the mattress, but I then discovered 8 more in the divan base. I am heartbroken as I wonder if this is a sign of even faster decline, as only just 3 years ago my partner was driving and shopping, now she cannot turn the tv on or make a drink. Any help please!!!!! Going to doctors tomorrow......
