Another bad night - this time ending with him trying to pull me out of bed so he could take my side as his had a large wet spot. I got him settled and headed for the couch again. Just ordered overnight depends - sure hope they live up to Depends' hype! Poor washer and dryer going into shock at the every day washing of sheets and pads lol.
I'm getting a Murphy bed - and hiding out so he doesn't decide he needs that bed as well.

Golly, @billchitwood that has to be really tough! We actually wore out our washer/dryer during my wife's journey. I did at least one load every day. Also had to have an additional septic drain field put in our yard due to the demands. NO fun for sure.
It took a while, but I finally found a pad that actually did keep the sheets dry most nights for my wife. I just checked the few I have left, but they had no tag identifying a name or manufacturer. I know our hospice nurse got them from the hospital and they came bagged by the dozen. They were about 30" x 30", with a soft plastic on one side and an absorbent insert in them.
I hope last night was a better night for you!
Wishing you continued Strength, Courage, & Peace
