This morning started out ok...I was getting ready for work, when I popped into check on my mom. She had poop all over her! E-gads! Now if this isn't love people...I don't know what is. I called into my boss and told her I would be late & why. "Better you than me!" was her reply. Haha. I began with a warm rag to clean off my mom's hands. She had poo caked on her everywhere. Apparently sometime in the night she had pooped herself, and had managed to take off her depends underwear. And then rolled over (into more poo) and went to sleep. Eeeeew. It was under her nails! (Believe me I scrubbed them a few times) And seriously caked onto her very nice comforter. (I am washing that currently, for the 2nd time, in the *sanitary* wash cycle.) My mom has of course also recently lost the ability to stand easily so everything was much harder than usual. I managed to pick her up and take her to the bathroom, and put her in the shower (on a shower chair) and hosed the old girl off. I have to say poo in the vagina is one of the grossest things that I have ever had to deal with and I hope that I never have to deal with it again. It was not fun at all. She is presently clean, content, and merily chirping away at me from the other room. After her shower, I put her on the toilet, where she proceeded to poo again! If I had to guess, I would say that she probably pooped at least 4 or 5 pounds all together! How? I have no idea? She is such a small person? I think she's been saving it or something... Anyhoo...
Today, we had our big meeting to try to get her into a place for physical rehab. It looks like it's all going well so far. But who really knows? I hope it goes well.
Everyone who came out to the house to see her was really nice and supportive. I hope this goes well. My mom really needs this break. I'm praying to the Kaiser gods to help her.
