The real caregiving begins
Well you always knew it would happen and today was the day. After pulling an all nighter I went to my sweet little lady for the day. We needed to go to the eye doctor but mother natures movement had not happened yet , for the day. You guessed it, on the way she had an accident in her pants. I got her into the bathroom at the medical center, parked the car, went hunting in the car for extra pants and found none. No gloves, no under garments. I ran to the pharmacy in the building, and using my own money bought some "depends" I asked if the pharmacist had any gloves and I was shown the box on the aisle. I ran up to the public restroom and started to try and clean up. The toilet, floor and my sweet little lady was covered. Grabbing a waste basket liner from the hall I filled it with ----------yuck. I mopped up and wiped up and we were only five minutes late. What a way to start the day. We now have supplies in the vehicle. Just another day in the care giving field.
