My Dad was always kind of this way anyway but now that his mobility is severely compromised and he can't get to a bathroom quickly, he ruminates about his bowels and if he has to go to the bathroom all day long.
I suspect it's because he HASN'T made it on time a couple of times but was wondering what all of your experiences are with it.
Thanks!
I hear you honey, and I totally get it. In fact, I usually get it three, four, sometimes five times a day. That commode is forever being cleaned.
I've also been an elder caregiver for almost 25 years. So, I've seen it all, cleaned it all, and to hear about it all LOL.
They don't have to "work on" not giving your mother dairy ice cream. Omicron has nothing to do with it.
Tell him you'll supply the dairy-free ice cream for your mom and even put her name on it.
I'm sure there has to be one person among the kitchen staff who knows how to use an ice cream scooper or a spoon and can put some into a bowl for her.
I know exactly what you mean about not being able to muster the empathy to have an in-depth discussion about sh*t. I can't either.
My mother is obsessed with it and discussing it. I tell her every day that I don't need to hear about her poop because I'm the one who sees and cleans it from the commode every single day. I don't need a recap of the highlights from her.
