I thought I would get used to it but I am gagging and have totally lost my appetite. I was never a big eater but now my doctor wants to know why I am losing weight when I can’t afford to lose weight. It’s just gross to me. Why is this happening because I am a mom and changed a bazillion diapers?
Poop after eating oranges and grapes have hardly any smell
Decomposition smell 10 times worse then poop smell esp in heat
Mobility problems meant nighttime commode was in use.
Now mobility worse, just stays in bed - wet wet wet clothing, pad & quilted incontinence bed protector.
BUT our compost bin out back with last weeks uneaten oranges in the sun STANK so RANCID!!
But I think I'd take the oranges.....
Watertight and easy to tie the knot in top or use the twist tie that comes with them.
Comes in a box 20-40 count. At BJ's one can get a sleeve of 6 boxes.
Hoped this helps!
Look, this is not easy. As much as I tried to preserve my mother’s dignity through it I am a human being who will freely admit that I cannot do what I cannot do.
Be sensitive and compassionate to yourself and who you are in charge of. It is not an easy time for either of you. I don’t know how my family did it, and I come from a long line of people who could change a baby’s diaper with one hand and eat a sandwich at the same time with the other. Seriously. The Iron Stomach gene skips some of us. Close your eyes except when you’re emptying it, and I second the Vicks under the nose suggestion.
You’re not alone.
And I still made an A. * struts*
A porta pottie might work for you. There are several brands of Porta Potties out there. Look into it. They have a fresh water tank on top for flushing and a holding tank on the bottom for the "black water"and a sealed ring between to prevent odors. The user can flush the "toilet" with a lever usually in the front of the pottie. On most of them, you push the lever down to flush and up to add water to the bowl. You purchase a product that reduces and eliminates smell and add this to the holding tank with a little bit of water. We use this product in our RV to eliminate odors. One model even has a toilet paper roll holder. You do need to use special toilet paper if you deposit the paper in the holding tank. I only flush #2 paper, #1 paper I put in a plastic bag. You can get the deodorizer and toilet paper at Camping World or on-line.
When you need to empty it, you just disconnect the bottom or holding tank, take it to a toilet, open the drain and pour into the toilet. Your hands never touch the "product". The chemical you put in really helps control the odor. If the person only uses it at night you could go several days without emptying it, and maybe you could get someone else to do it. We used one in our sailboat because the regular toilet and the boat's holding tank would smell awful. (I think there was a problem with venting but we couldn't find it). I have also used them when we had a camping trailer. Oh, I just ran out to the RV and the product we have now is called Aqua Kem. Other deodorizers are just as good, we just happened to pick this brand up.
The one problem, a stand might have to be made to raise the pottie high enough for a disabled person. If diarrhea is involved, I would have a pitcher of water to help flush the solid matter down.
I hope I have explained this well. I feel I am leaving something out. My heart goes out to you.
