Bed wetting

Dad had wet 8 pairs of pants. Thought mom had him changed, but on our way home from dinner, I could smell him stinking like pee. Maybe he wet more than his pants.

Mom wants dad to skip today's day care because she thinks dad might be dizzy from the increased drug dosage, and it might cause the day care staff trouble. It was 6 in the morning. And she was super confused. Dad was in bed wearing no pants again. (This is the 2nd time he was caught without any pants recently.) And of course, he also wet his bed. At least this time he helped changing the bed sheets.

Last night mom first discovered one of the towels in front of the washroom was moved to the stairs. (Those are for soaking up dad's pee as he drips his way to the washroom.) Then, dad was in bed with no pants. Evidence suggested that he must have wanted to pee while I was showering. So he went to the washroom downstairs, but couldn't make it and dumped all the pee onto the stairs. The towel was moved there to soak up the pee. Not sure if he ran out of pants or what, but he decided to go back to bed half naked, the lower half, that is.

Handydart starts taking calls at 8. So if I were to phone and cancel, I can't sleep for another 2 hours. Day care should be voice message so it doesn't matter. However, that's not the point. The day care staff are professionals and know how to deal with situations. Mom worries too much. The real problem is the drug dosage. We should consult the geriatric doctor, who only works on Wednesdays. So, since there is no way to phone in and see her on the same day, might as well let today be as scheduled.
