    SiL came over to shower and dress Nannie and took her over to their house. No poop for SiL to clean up. I showed her the photos I took of Nannie's floor with all the poop all over the place. YIKES! Anyway, I have to go out and pick up a refill a...

    Okay, apparently all the mag-citrate is not gone from Nannie's system. After supper she said, "I feel like I have to go to the bathroom." And in the bathroom, taking down her britches, I was confronted by MORE loose stool almost everywhere in the 'Ne...

    Wellllll, "I did it *MY* way!!" Mostly because I had no choice.😫 And I must confess, at times when working in a facility cleaning up after a patient, I actually used face cloths which I then THREW AWAY! What a rebel!

    Amazingly enough, Nannie only had to have the 'inside' pad changed, as it was kind of damp. Didn't have to change anything else. The bed was dry and clean (!!) and when she got on the toilet, she peed and did several dozen flakes of poop. Hope that i...

    Good Day! (At least I sure hope so!) Last night Nannie did hold off pooping until she got on the toilet; she did a moderate amount of soft stool. Have to go get her up in 10 minutes, so I will find out if there have been any other "results" from...

    j22~ Unfortunately I AM the Housekeeping Dept. here. 🤨 so there's nobody to call. Both SiL and BiL were working today so they weren't available. I am finishing the last of SIX loads of laundry; I flipped the mattress, and have the bed partially ...

    Aaaaand found another huge flop-puddle on the floor at the far side of the bed under the window, and two more sheets laden with stool.... Thank God for Greased Lightning! After all the spots and areas were doused a 2nd time with that spray, wash...

    OY, OY, OY!! I took some photos and a video of the HOLY Jumpin' Jehosaphat's MESS in Nannie's room. There was arc of poop drops, large and small, in a 1/2 moon on the floor around the side and bottom of the bed. Nannie was curled up on the mattr...

    So, there was a BIG yikes! last night when I pulled Nannie's britches down to get her on the toilet. She had liquid stool from her waist to her knees, all around the front and in every skin fold of her lap; she said she didn't know she had to go, and...

    Maybe it's just a case of ''the more you learn, the more you find out what you don't yet know.' Don't let it freak you out. It may be part of the process, and quite possibly could lead you to where..... you didn't realize you needed to go with t...

    Another Food Lion without any mag citrate, TWO closed drugstores, and then I found a CVS....they didn't have it with the other laxative stuff, but when I turned down the next aisle, there it was on a bottom shelf! So, I'm back home and I told Nannie ...

    Pardon me, but dammit! No mag-citrate at Food Lion, and in the Family Dollar store they had 6 bottles, and all I wanted was one, but "they haven't been put in the system, so I can't sell it to you." How stupid is that to not be able to punch in the n...
