This is called bedridden and is much easier to handle. Get a pan of warm water with a little bit of baby magic or some other mild liquid soap. Roll your mother onto her side then cut down the side of the diaper. Squirt shaving cream on the stool, it will facilitate the cleaning and also cover up the smell. Use wet wipes to clean with then roll it all up to dispose of. Use the warm water and a washcloth to clean the front of her. Pat dry then lightly sprinkle some baby cornstarch on front the back. Now ready for a clean diaper. If she can lift her bottom then pull it up, if not then you will have to do some rolling like you did to get it off.

When a post is over a month old with no recent responses from original OP it seems it is just as well left alone. It just seems pointless to get sucked in when others aren't keeping a post relevant.

Blur it out. If you can do it for yourself, you can do it for them. It gets easier. I was always happy afterwards to see my dad clean and resting comfortably. You'll be glad later that you made this sacrifice for their comfort. Don't make too much out of it. Skin is skin, feces is just waste. Wear gloves. Tuck them in, put on their socks, kiss them on the forehead. Your day has been fulfilling.
