Keeping One’s Dignity

Wednesday, August 24, 2011

The aging process has a way of sneaking up on even the most active elderly people. At some point, the role of parent and child reverses itself; all of a sudden, it’s up to the son or daughter to determine where the parent will spend his or her last days. In some cases, this means turning over the responsibility to an assisted-living center. But some children choose to bear the burden themselves; they think it’s the least they can do.

For many elderly people, maintaining dignity is just as important as surviving at all. No one wants to be subjected to embarrassing situations, especially where bodily functions are involved. Some older men and women develop incontinence issues as they age, which makes every trip to the bathroom a risky endeavor. A commode chair strategically placed at bedside is often the best alternative, as it can be moved and cleaned easily. Using attends disposable briefs are a good alternative to consider as well.

Coping with My Incontinence

Thursday, August 05, 2010

I often hear people being critical of young people for their brash temperament. This is often due to a sense of invincibility, with the foolhardiness of youth distorting a youngster’s perception of reality. And while it’s nice to enjoy the freedom and liberty that youth offers, it’s important to recognize your limitations as well.

Although I’m in my 70s, I have to admit that I recently found myself falling victim to this disillusioned since of my own capabilities. Nobody likes to admit that their health is deteriorating, so when I began to suffer incontinence problems, I was hesitant to seek help. Now I’ve learned to accept the issue and have begun taking measure to remedy the issue, including carrying Attends underpads with me at all times.

Taking Care of Grandpa

Monday, June 07, 2010

For as long as I can remember, my grandpa has been a focal character in my life story. Since he lives just a few blocks away, he was in attendance at all of my school activities and sporting events. We have maintained a close relationship throughout the years, but his health his taken a turn for the worse as of late.

It pains me to see my grandpa in poor health, but I still pay him a visit everyday. I usually go in the afternoon and help out with chores around the house, changing his Attends briefs and running errands. Most nights I will even cook us dinner and enjoy a nice meal with my grandpa

Discreet Undergarments Put an End to Embarrassment

Friday, April 23, 2010

For one reason or another, it occasionally becomes necessary for doctors to remove a portion of a patient’s colon. This procedure is performed with the best intentions in mind – it’s often done to eliminate or stave off dangerous medical conditions. In any event, patients are left with a colostomy, or a surgically created opening of the colon. They then require a customized pouching system – sometimes called a – to collect waste.

Although it shouldn’t be so, the presence of an ostomy can become a source of embarrassment. Society dictates that bodily functions are not placed front and center; rather, their existence should be minimized in the presence of polite company. Ostomy underwear helps to make the process much more discreet by fitting snugly and comfortably over the pouching system, but you will want to be sure to always have Attends wipes on hand as well.

Taking Care of Mom

Wednesday, April 07, 2010

When my mom moved in with my wife and me, we were ill prepared for the range of tasks that taking care of her entailed. After suffering multiple strokes, my mother’s health had deteriorated quickly and she was unable to do many basic tasks by herself. Now that she has been living with us for a couple of months, we have all become more accustomed to the situation and developed a routine.

I am in charge of helping my mom run errands and do basic tasks around the house such as preparing food. My wife helps her with various tasks in the bedroom and bathroom, including getting in and out of the tub and changing her Attends diapers. I can tell that my mother feels like she is a burden, but my wife and I are more than happy to have her living with us.
