Using the cameras is a great idea - can’t argue with that proof!
Have you tried Depends at night or won’t he wear them? There is regular underwear that is made with extra padding and I wear these at night - better than Depends because they are washable. They are expensive but they work. You can add extra padding if you need to.
Maybe tell his doctor about the explosions and medication might need adjustment.
Hello Julie
My name is Trisha, I've been following your posts for a while now. May I ask why Bill was in the hospital.
If not one thing it is another. Now he is apparently having explosive bowel moments - sometimes before he gets on the toilet. Apparently he was having them at the nursing home as well. Cleaned up after himself so no one, including me, would know. But then almost passes out in getting back to his chair. He thinks the new medication, Midodrine (to bring his BP up) is causing it.
Home health is supposed to have a nurse and/or doctor visit.
One minute he is saying he feels so good he knows he will make it to 105 - then later he announces he is dying and knows the doctors are keeping it from him.
