fears are realized

I'm skipping ahead in my tale but my greatest fear came true. I was alone with my grandma when she had to pee. Everyone else was inside Arbys happily eating their roast beef when she looked at me and whispered in a raspy voice "I need to use the restroom". I immediately panic as I reach for the box of latex gloves. She sees me getting geared up for the big event and gives me a look of disapproval. I think that she felt even more uncomfortable with me helping her than I did. I call my dads cell and lucky for me and her, he came back to help. Coming so close to some adult diapers did make it tough to enjoy my beef and cheddar sandwich. Bullet dodged

the lead up

There were several events of note dealing with the preparation of the trip. The first is when Jeffrey, my dad and I were golfing and we wanted to make bets on the round. Naturally I came up with that if Jeffrey and I beat my dad, we would not have to change any diapers on the trip. We both thought that it was a great idea but did not know how my dad would take it so we passed on that bet. Beginning to think that we should have gone for it.
Next great event was when we went to go pickup a wheelchair from a guy that had an ad on craigslist. $25 for a month rental. When we arrive there is a guy sitting in a wheelchair with another wheelchair next to it. Later my mom told me that she almost said "thanks for demoing the wheelchair" before she realized that his legs were as lame as FDRs. Real glad that she didn't say anything.
My mom and I went to go pick up the motorhome. What an absolute dump that place was. We got the demo of the motorhome then I got in to drive and it started then immediately died. Fired it up again and once again it died. I was hoping that this wasn't a sign of things to come. I went and got the overweight white trash looking guy. He looked at me like I was a retard then he jumped in and the same thing happened for him. After a couple of times, he got it started and took it around the block a while. Once he came back, told me it should be ready to go. I took his word for it and drove it to the house.
Looking forward to hitting the road in the morning and breaking grandma out of the old person home.

If I have one fear for this trip it is being caught alone with grandma when the need hits her. I really do not know if I could handle helping her remove her depends, sit on her commode, then help to diaper her back up again followed by discarding the contents of the commode. Thinking ill take every opportunity to make sure that I am never alone.

The Why

Reason for this blog:
- Family reunion in Jackson Hole
- Grandma can not sit for any extended period of time.
- Grandma can not walk on her own
- Grandma can not use the restroom on her own, nor does she have much control of bodily functions
- Grandma is not entirely there...
- My dad and uncle really want my grandma to go
- Dad and uncle decide that the best way to get her up there is to rent an RV and road trip it up there. (18 hours in a car)
- Nobody can keep a straight face when we tell them about this trip and the movies "RV" and "Little Miss Sunshine" keep popping up.

I am actually really looking forward to this trip and all of the hilarity that is about to ensue.
