(22,509 posts)them and I have to try to keep them as low as I can because they cause bad constipation which, in my limited understanding might help. And there have been times with me, (because I also have severe pain in my gut and problems making it to the bathroom sometimes) that I will take them to make myself stop going.
I am sorry for both of you having to go through all this. And since she is 72 she should qualify for help through Medicare. With my mom they came a few times a week and gave her a shower and made lunch etc. It was great for me to get a break. As far as cleaning etc maybe if you called a few nursing homes or assisted living homes and find out how they take care of things. They might have some inside information.
I really hope things get better for you 2.
