I've also had trouble with bowel control over the last several years. More than once, I had to stop on the way home and leave a little package in a trash can on the New Haven Green. I would hide behind the church and then dispose of my underwear to cover my tracks.
Or I would have extreme urgency and would not make it up the stairs and into my bathroom in time to avoid soiling my clothes. So I knew something was wrong, I just didn't know what.
Please share and follow if you know someone in a similar condition or have the same condition yourself. I'm sure there's a community out there already, but I have not found it. Yet.
Hard times. I have early onset Alzheimer's. I've probably had it for at least a year. I missed many rent payments over the last two years and was evicted. I'm currently living in a homeless shelter and trying to find an institution where I can be housed for the rest of my life.
I have decided to share about it here because I would like some kind of narrative to survive of what happened to me. I am closer to the beginning then the end. Without a doubt.
...have to explain why I can't remember what happened yesterday. Fortunately, people seem to take no notice of this condition. It seems they don't know what it is, and so when I tell them, sorry I can't remember but I have x, they don't know what x is. Perhaps thankfully.
