My mother is turning 62 this year. Mind you, she's as healthy and strong as a horse. I'm having body aches and pains here and there and she doesn't even have that.

Anyway, she's always saying that she'd rather have a sudden death than be bed-ridden in her old age as she doesn't want to be a burden to her kids and those who will take care of her. I would always contradict her by saying I'd love to take care of her in old age, bed-ridden or otherwise. She wouldn't be any kind of burden. I even joked to her that I'll get her a caregiver anyway. But kidding aside, I'll take care of her. No question about that. I won't mind securing her with incontinence products, medical supplies, latex gloves and other stuff for her care.

But of course, incontinence is not just the only thing we'll gonna deal with when taking care of the elderly.
