I submit this question simply with honesty. After caring for both MIL and FIL for two years..........the thing that gags me is "teeth." Yes, worse than poop for me. My FIL (now deceased) had false teeth. He would pry them from his mouth dripping with saliva and hand them to me. Sure, I put gloves on, etc...but for some reason those teeth really triggered my gag reflex.
Now my MIL is unable to brush her teeth and I have to do it.. or things get really stinky. It is the hardest thing I do. Anyone else comment on one particular thing that she/he finds "stomach upsetting"?
I have a very keen sense of smell, and it's enough to gag a maggot. If MIL ever decides to marker her own personal line of perfume, it should be called Eau du Nuit du Mothballs and Urine.
OMG if my husbands feet touch me while in bed!!! I can't stand it.. He knows not to put them near me..
im the vlad putin of family carers . shake your right hand and smile and shiv ya in the brain stem with my left . ( so to speak )
Personally, I admire the person that has a " hate" but who has the guts to get up each day, face the object of hate, put the hate aside and complete the task to make someones life better. Thank goodness for these folks!
