I did take care of my dad who was diabetic, on dialysis, an amputee and had alzheimer's.

I changed the dressings on his foot and watched gangrene take his toes.



Hmmmmm,

I guess I know what it's like to be a son.

"We took those steps to make our daughter more portable.
She won't have her period or breasts, easy cleanup and no bra."
