She says she has no bowel movement but with the laxative tea and prune juice she does. It's usually in the morning when getting up she says she can't go for days and yet after the prune juice and tea work she's fine. But 2 hours later she can't remember she went. It's so bad at times her thinking she can't go brings on anxiety attacks. What else can I do? I don't argue with her she's gone, but sympathize with her and say give it a chance you'll go after the tea and prune juice work.
One of my favorite stories was the day the new part-time caregiver was talked into giving my dad a laxative! Holy cow. The mess was everywhere! She had to go rent a carpet steamer and I left her to clean him up and the bathroom. I was mad as h*ll....but now I find it funny.
Talk to her doctor about her anxiety. There are meds for this.
