Thanks, Jeh. Your response means a lot to me. With the extra laundry
required from the UTI or whatever it is, my guy has decided to get dressed
up every day as if he were going to town. Instead of urinating in his
sweats, he is now urinating in his dress pants and shirts. There is a
mound on the dryer waiting for the old spot remover trick before washing
can happen. The only way you can survive this is to develop a sense of
humor. I guess it is better than him no longer caring how he looks. Right
now, my back is killing me, but at least it is for a good reason. I was
able to get some semblance of order around here. Whatever tomorrow brings,
I will be better prepared than I was today. Ah, small victories. Keep up
the good fight. GloRo

Sense of humor is essential. When hubby thinks he's in skilled nursing and I'm a caregiver he speaks lovingly of his beautiful wife. This is a wonderful blessing. (He assures "her" that he has never looked at another woman and never will.)

Could you slowly remove donate some of his clothes? I know change is bad but after a few days of moving something to a better location my husband finally accepts it.
