Find Care & Housing
1 2 3
No, not a question of something wrong with you. While I found patient care, all aspects of it, easy and actually a joy, it was difficult for me when my own mother required help with catheter, etc. In fact, my parents who were otherwise free and open were, as far as body, nakedness, etc. quite private. I could tell it bothered my mother. This made any discomfort the worse for me. What you and your sister are experiencing is real, and it is difficult, and you are not alone, even among medical professionals. Everyone is different. You know, even in a very close relationship husband/wife, there are the bathroom door open types and the bathroom door closed, no matter how much intimacy involved otherwise.

You're right... spousal intimacy is one thing, having to change adult diapers is another. I did it, it had to be done. Even in MC I assumed that role. It was the least I could do to contribute to her care. Didn't like it.
