From Hot to Cold – Chapter Five
Michael’s mother, on the other hand, had somewhat of an indifferent day. She went back to the supermarket to get some bits for dinner and to look for a more absorbent protective product for Michael. She was disappointed to see that the supermarket only had the same level of absorbency on all the products. There was the stores own brand and one other to choose from. She decided to ask the lady serving in the pharmacy area of the store, where the pants were situated, for some help. The lady explained that they only had the two types and that if anything more absorbent was needed she would need to speak to her doctor. Michael’s mum explained the situation about having to wait for the appointment, and the only other advice the lady could offer was to visit an actual pharmacy to see if they had a larger range. She bought the bits she needed and paid for them before returning to her car. She was now becoming concerned that she would not be able to find the quick fix she was looking for. But decided she may as well try the pharmacy as suggested.
As Michael’s mum drove to the pharmacy a few roads further up she hoped that she could get something that would be better then the pants from the supermarket. She was very worried about Michael and how his self esteem must be taking a huge blow waking up in wet sheets for the last three days. She pulled in the drive way and made her way into the shop. She quickly noticed the incontinence products on the far side near the feminine care products and baby products. As she walked towards the aisle she noticed straightaway that there was a lot more to choose from in the pharmacy, and hoped that something more suitable would be found. She stopped in the middle and started running her eyes over all the plastic packages containing all sorts of things. She noticed the same pants she had bought in the supermarket and moved her eyes along this shelf. There certainly was higher absorbency levels but Michael’s mum was conscious about how heavy he seemed to be wetting. She compared the thickness of the higher absorbency pants with the ones she had bought previously, there was some difference but she wondered if it would be enough. As she stood there pondering and getting slightly confused at all the products she heard a voice next her.
“Good morning,” came a nice voice “is there anything I can help you with?”
The man was smiling and standing next to Michael’s mum with his hands clasped in front, he was obviously the pharmacist and seemed very pleasant.
“Oh, hi.” she replied “Actually I am a little lost.” Michael’s mum smiled back “its my son…he has been having accidents in the night and we cannot get to see a doctor for a while. I bought some of these pants, but they have leaked everywhere and not held the wetting at all.”
Michael’s mum showed the kind man the medium sized pack of pants she was referring to and then put them back on the shelf.
“OK, I am sorry to hear about your son, how old is he?” the man enquired.
“He is seventeen.”
“Well you most likely have the correct size, is he normal build, not got any extra weight so to speak.”
“Oh no, he is normal build and weight.” She felt relaxed and a lot less apprehensive than she had before. She felt a small weight lift to be able to talk to someone else about the problem and not have to deal with it all herself.
“You said he was wetting straight through these pants in the night?”
“That’s right.”
“Well, you see, these pants are designed for light to moderate incontinence.” The man explained “They would normally be used during the day and be changed regularly.”
“I understand, so I will need the ones with more absorbency then?” she asked.
“Yes, you will. The only thing is that these pants you have been looking at will always have the same problem at night.” he continued “I would recommend trying something designed to take heavier wettings and hold it for longer periods, such as when the wearer is asleep.”
“Oh, ok. That sounds good, what do you have that is designed for night time.”
The man put his glasses on and bent over towards the packages situated on the bottom shelf. Michael’s mum had not seen these products at the bottom and she watched as he moved his hand along them, angling them towards himself to read the details. After a few moments he picked one of the packets and brought it up towards himself and Michael’s mum. He took off his glasses and began to explain that the product he was showing her was far more absorbent and designed to be used when the wearer was lying down or less mobile. He explained that they were also meant to contain many wettings, as opposed to the pants that needed to be changed more frequently.
“You see, these can be worn all night and should not leak. The wearer can sleep through any wettings till morning.”
Michael’s mum looked at the picture on the front, it was different to the pants and looked the same as a baby nappy.
“So these work like nappies?” she asked “You have to tape them up round the sides?”
“Yes and the pad part wraps around the whole body, meaning as the person sleeps, the liquid will not leak out.”
Michael’s mum thought for a moment. The nappy style product, that were called slips, did seem a sensible choice. Michael was wetting quite a lot and it was clear that something more absorbent was needed. The pants were not going to hold the accidents and it was many more nights before they could receive the doctors help. She also thought about asking her son to wear what boiled down to a nappy, pants that felt like underwear was one thing, but an actual nappy. As she pondered the man said he would leave her to choose as more customers had since entered the store.
After a short while Michael’s mum reluctantly took the packet of nappies towards the counter. It was much heavier than the packet of pants and it was obvious that were more suited for a large number of wettings. As she stood in the queue, that was a few customers deep, a younger woman starred at the packet of adult nappies that Michael’s mum was holding. She moved it to her other hand and cleared her throat. She thanked the pharmacist for his help as she paid for the nappies and he put them in a large bag to conceal them. She got back to the car and put the bag on the passenger seat. She looked at them before sighing and still not sure if Michael would accept wearing them.
As she started to reverse she looked up and saw the pharmacist standing near the window. He was still smiling and seemed very happy. He gave a casual wave to Michael’s mum and she could not help but wave back and smile too. She had other things on her mind but she had thought the man was very kind and a little handsome. She had been separated from her husband for about a year and had not really taken any interest in another man since. As she pulled out of the car park, she glanced up hoping to catch another peek at the pharmacist and was not disappointed. He was still smiling and turned away back into the shop as she pulled away.
