As I write this, Teresa is getting ready to "take a day off." She will be gone from 8am to 8pm. Barb will take the first six hours of looking after Mom and I will take the last six hours. Neither of us have had to deal with Mom's "bathroom needs."
I haven't a clue what to do about putting her on a bed pan.
We could have gotten some volunteers to stay with her but they are not trained in this need. What is the point to have a stranger in with Mom for four hours that is just as worthless as Barb and me in this department.
Food? Anything she wants. I'll run to MCDonalds or get some Chinese or fried chicken. If she doesn't want to eat, so what? As long as she gets her can of ensure, I'll consider that a success.
Mom will survive this, Barb and I might not.
