I'm really at my wit's end at this! My elder is bedridden and wears briefs. I gave her the bedpan, but she refuses. She wants to go to the bathroom but she is very weak and bedridden. Putting on the bedpan to urinate is pretty simple, but I'm beyond ANNOYED and SCARED of the defecation part (BM on the bedpan)!
I just placed extra incontinence pads on her bed because I'm so afraid of her soiling the bedsheets. I tell her to make poo poo in her briefs, but she refuses and tries to get up to go to the bathroom.
What should I do about this? I am really going MAD over it! I have high-functioning autism and my daily routine is already a WRECK! Can you give me sound advice on dealing with this! I'm really at MY END OF MY ROPE!
Forget about the Foley, either. She is so strong-willed that she'd pull it out. That happened three times already.
I am betting that she needs her privacy.
