Susan a big relief to know you are doing better this morning, hope your day goes well for you and dh, wonderful a dr. in the family you must be so proud
Thanks all, taking a lunch break, Jim is in a foul mood today, rough nite. Very confused, had his first "accident", couldn't figure out the commode in time. Then didn't want me to wash him up. I'm going to try to brighten him up, Mom has a bit of rainy day money stashed away and wants to go for fried clams, owww so good! So we may do that later, got to get back to my chores. Love you all, thank God I have you, I need to get back on the cruise, lol.
Most hardware stores have syphon hoses,..with a big bulb on one end that initiates the suction and then sucks the water up into a long hose. if it is long enough you can drain it out through a window or into a sink. It's a huge mess and dipping with a cup is waaay too much trouble. I'd go to the nearest hardware store and ask for a syphon hose.
Ughhhhhhh, I just scooped it out into a basin, took it in small batches throughout the day, but it is DONE! Thanks for all the ideas, none of which i thought of :0(
