She has a large hemorrhoid and Dr. has prescribed steroid suppository for intense pain, and diagnosed tenesmus. She is 94 with mild dementia. I am 72 and caring for her. I give her metamucil for fiber, and warm compresses to help with pain. She refuses a sitz bath in the tub, due to getting chilled. Haven't bought one for toilet because she is recovering from a broken hip, and sitting is uncomfortable. I need to sell my home due to move, but she can't travel the 1 1/2 trip to new home. I have no family to help. Any suggestions? I am overwhelmed with everything.
If you need to go take care of things and she can't come with you, hire someone to sit with her. That's a good idea anyways. You need a break sometimes.
