regarding a few posts ago about gigglemom.
i won't go into total details at the moment but, let's just say i don't think i ever want to have children if it means changing a diaper and cleaning up poop after them.
especially if the child is 250 pounds.
i just threw up on gigglemom's legs as i tried to clean her heinie.
i have a VERY weak stomach.
whilst gagging and trying NOT to throw up, strange noises were coming from me... almost a high pitched yelp every 5 seconds in order not to puke.
it didn't work.
i had latex gloves on and everything.
yes. i know that it robs her of her dignity to post this on here but i am shaking right now. this happened 5 times worse 2 years ago, the night before she went into the hospital for her bypass.
i had come home from memphis - where i'd been for work - and walked into my mother almost passed out on the recliner with poop all over it and all over the floor leading into and out of the bathroom where she tried to make it.
this time she crapped the bed and then i took her into the bathroom to clean her up... where the high pitched yelping and cleansing and vomiting started.
fucking GREAT times. she feels really ill but doesn't want to go to the hospital. i told her come hell or high water if she's still like this tomorrow i am dragging her to the hospital. i'm hoping that after this horrid turn of events that she'll feel better because she hadn't "gone to the bathroom" in a few days... so maybe the devil was trapped in her and is now out. ugh... blech.... ****shudder***
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLP!!!!
happy fat tuesday!!!!!!!!!! christ i need a drink.*******
*** it's okay if you want to laugh --- it's disgusting, sad and funny at the same time. i need to know that it's funny... ha ha ha ha... eh.. it's funny. that's the only way i can get through this. funny. laugh.
Whatchoosayin'?? (5 yapped)
Awww....hugs to you and GM! My mom has Multiple Sclerosis and this seems to happen to her whenever she gets a bladder infection. It's horrible! In a few years you'll be able to look back and laugh (I hope). I'll never forget the first time this happened to my mom. It started at the store while she was with my mother-in-law. My mom told the mom-in-law that she just shat herself (while in her wheelchair). Mom-in-law said "go on out to the car, I'll pay and meet you there". Mom wheeled herself on out to the car - got in. Mom-in-law came out to look for her - found her IN SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR!! Imagine that sorry soul when he/she got into their car. The horror of it all!! That's the only real funny memory I have of any of the spells, but it's a good one! Get her to the doctor. Much love!
[note from GC: oof!! heh. okay, i'm gonna have to strap her to the top of the convertible to take her to the hospital then. haha.]

If anyone judges you for posting this I will pop them for you! This is something no child ever wants to have to do, but you got through it, so kudos to you. I'm sure GM appreciates you more than words can say. Hope she is feeling much better tomorrow.
Keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers.

Don't put off having kids because of this experience. You must remember their tushies are much smaller than Gigglemom's, lol ;-)
More prayers for the both of you hon, hang in there!
