Hospice Shark mode, real quick:
It seems more difficult for senior men of a certain generation to accept when it's time for adult incontinence products.
It is a very humiliating thing for most people.
Be kind and gentle....

1:33 a.m. here, getting ready to make the long drive into San Diego.
Gentle fins just hugged you right now.
Oh how I miss her 😢
Having a nurse or someone like me available to help explain this change is useful.
I've seen it every time.
Glad she waited for you.
A clear message that this happens to everyone and DO NOT CALL THEM DIAPERS.
Sometimes a video on the topic can help.
Watch it first... con't
Replace underwear with appropriate size disposable underwear, and make sure the bathroom has a bigger trashcan with a flip top/comparable lid.
This is a normal part of aging and caregiver/hospice work.
HI HI HI
Have a non shitty week, stay safe.

I 100% get how difficult this is, for pretty much everyone involved.
I have vivid memories of being in a full body cast, for MONTHS, and i needed help with everything... it's very upsetting.
The word diaper never leaves my mouth, ever.
Also big hugs to you, caregiving for our parents is hard hard hard in so many ways.
