It's OK, Ken. One of them will be getting up for YOU all night long when you're in late senile dementia AND incontinent.
After weeks of being up every two hours, I finally got him a "bathroom" buzzer. BIG mistake.
Eventually, I bought a video monitor. It took weeks before I had the time to set it up. First night with it, I still kept waking every two hours to look at it on the nightstand.
I couldn't believe I got through a whole night without him being restless or buzzing me. "This monitor is GREAT," I thought. I got up at 6 a.m. and went into his room to check on him. Ohhh, no wonder the buzzer never went off! No wonder he never moved! Jeesh! And all this time I thought it was just a pathetic attempt to get attention. My bad.
