Hello,
I have a sweet gran who lives in sheltered accomodation. She is 90 years old, and is in fabulous health. However, there is 1 little problem.
She has suffered from urinary incontinence since she was about 80, but she just won't admit it. The staff where she lives have mentioned it to my mother(her daughter) quite a few times and that it needs to be sorted otherwise she will have to go to a care home which she doesn't need because she is really well and independent.
A nurse came to see her the other day, I went along with my mum, and the nurse said that there was no problem. It upsets me because whenever anybody mentions it, she starts crying and protests she isn't incontinent.
Some days she is good, other days not so good.
Helpful advice please, she's a really sweet old lady and I love her so I don't like hurting her feelings.
Thanks.
thanks for the support. we have asked her to wear pads but she never does! unruly matriarch!

I have incontinence and was wondering if it makes a difference as far as health goes whether I wear Cloth or Diposable diapers. I have gotten pretty used to disposable, but do have couple of cloth and I know economically and ecologically cloth is better. I am mostly interested in whether one is medically better than the other for any reason. If not will probably mostly use disposable as I like them more. Please no childish or rude remarks about wearing diapers, this is a serious question and I would appreciate serious answers.
