The Setup

 I woke up at 8:30 after finally falling asleep at 3 am. I used the time to setup the bedroom for when Mary woke up. Got out fresh pjs, dry hospice super depends, a clean sheet, and a hospice chuck. It soaks up urine, then you chuck it.

Had everything set up by 9:30, so I laid back down for a successful power nap. Woke up at 10:30 and coaxed Mary out of bed by offering her a cold drink of diet pop. Changing clothes and bedding went smoothly. I kept my head low, avoided being bossy, and thanked her profusely for her patience.

A very good friend was concerned that Mary would be mortified if she discovered what I was posting. Of course she would. But these posts are not for her, but for other caretakers whom I'm trying to encourage. The limits of Mary's curiosity are just what's in the room. Thank you for understanding.
