Hi Mighty CALS! My husband, on his swift and devastating trajectory through ALS and FTD, has suddenly become unable to hold his pee (so far it's just pee, but the other is coming surely). I bought a pack of Depends just in time yesterday, after a few accidents. Awoke this morning to puddles of pee on the bathroom floor & hallway rug. He travels about the house on a walker, so I expect him to be mobile for a while yet.
He can't talk and the FTD is advanced enough he's not able to communicate when he has to go. But I think his loss of muscle/nerve control doesn't give him any warning anyway.
Looking for advice about how to keep the house, carpets, and him clean (& me sane) in this in-between time after incontinence sets in and before he's completely bedridden.
Thanks.
