I am so sorry to hear this Shannon. I am sure it won't be long before we are there also. I have a hard time with all the peeing and not sleeping good. I miss the endless questions. Funny I never thought I would be able to say this. At the time we were in that stage that was all I could focus on. Now it is the peeing. Really hope this stays awhile if the poop is the next level. Praying for you to have patience and lots of sanitizer.
aalferio, we surely cant forget you guys deal with this issue as well. we who have had kids usually have a bit of headsup whats coming with incontinence but nobody can prepare us for dealing with cleaning up after grown men/women. its a whole different ballgame. so yes we ladies sympathize with you guys too!
I had just entered a new topic about lack of personal hygiene - after reading through all of these comments about the "poop patrol", I think I'll just be happy he doesn't shower!!!! It could be the least of my worries! My day will come, I'm sure, but I try not to look too far ahead - one day at a time (not very original, but true).
Ladies schmadies. My wife can produce work that makes a trucker look like a baby, peel paint inside three feet, and make Dick Cheney cry. It has smelt so bad that tears have streamed from my eyes uncontrollably cleaning it up while my nose screamed hideously and tried to rip itself off my face. I've wanted to weigh some of these monstrosities; but, I felt the need for speed and worried that some spontaneous form of life might conjure out of the noxious brew of chemicals. One of them left an impression on the enamel of the bathtub which neither I nor my helper can get out. Yes, it is a different ballgame and it doesn't actually matter who's butt gifted it to the world.
Wolf, try to keep a jar of Vick's nearby. Police and EMS use it under their noses when they have to investigate a crime scene where dead bodies are discovered and/or someone died several days/weeks before. It masks the awful odor. It works most of the time.
Wolf,,,,you make me smile after reading your post. It seems that you and phranque have something in common. The ability to make the worse situation into something doable. I am sorry you are going thru this but the way you tell it sure makes the mood lighter for the rest of us. Hope you are having a great day...... Thanks for the smiles.....
Oh, Kathryn, you make me laugh!!! I had always had things I wanted to get done for the house and brand new carpet was one of them. After my mom passed, she left me enough money to do just that. Imagine my horror waking up to my hubby peeing on my brand new burgundy bedroom carpet!!! It was actually my first experience in this whole desperate situation that put me over the edge!! My God, the things that came out of my mouth including "my mother died so I could have this carpet". Ok, I shared. That was my ultimate nutso moment of which I am now sooo ashamed! But I feel I can tell you guys anything.
Really I never saw the handbook but I'm quite sure we had big numbers on style points and while on all the threads there's a lot of beefcake tittering (or is that wretching), lets not forget that even the Queen's...well, nevermind. My dainty wife did the doo in her own unique ways so lethal she has left her mark in the enamel bathtub, so creatively she hit the ceiling, so neatly it was in a drawer, so noxiously I can still remember those chemical high notes.
I'm just saying girls are made from sugarplums and puppy dog tails...butt
