Poor you, what a shock and I have myself just come to realise that a crisis could happen at any time. my husband who has mixed dementia, seemed to be going along confused and repetitive but otherwise fairly ok until one day last week when he dropped his trousers and defacated all over the bathroom floor, walls and bathroom furniture. He then proceeded to walk it in his bare feet all over the hall, stairs and landing. it took me hours to clean and disinfect and I am not physically very mobile, he did this two days in a row and then put several rolls of toilet paper down the downstairs loo blocking that completely and then wetting himself. The shock and the smells from my normally very clean husband was horrendous.
without any argument he started wearing in continence pants but all seems to have settled down again now.
what it has done is galvanise me into putting in place a crisis plan with a place at a local care home. I didn’t think this would be necessary for a long while but clearly we should all be ready.
hope things have settled down for you now x
