Toby closed his dresser and placed his paw on the stack of diapers feeling the plastic feel of them. He sighed but yet smiled a little and slowly limped his way to the living room flopping down on the couch, propping up his leg with his one crutch seeing what was on T.V. Toby leaned forward a little to see what his mom was cooking. Whatever it was smelled great and couldn't wait to see what it was.

“Dinner is ready hun.” His mom shouted from the kicthen.

She peeked in the living room and saw him on the couch all comfy and smiled. Walking in she placed a tray on his lap that also rested on the couch and sat a cup orange juice on it and went to get his food and walked back setting it down. Toby breathed in deep smelling the food and couldn't wait to dig in.

Before digging in, he slid his paw in his pants feeling his diaper to see if he was wet. He was a little damp, but could hardly feel it. He picked up his fork cutting up his grilled chicken covered in light ranch dressing.

“Um, sweety? I know it's gonna be hard to get use to this but. Are you wet?” His mom asked trying to find the right words to say.

He paused blushing a little feeling like a kid now.

“Uh, a little mom. But not in need of a change right now.”

Toby went back to eating his chicken, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and saving his small brownie for last. His mom walked in setting her food on the coffee table along with her drink. Part way through his meal he felt his stomach grumbling and knew he needed the bathroom.

“Mom, I need to go to the bathroom now.”

Ashley got up quick lifting his tray setting it on the table, helping her son up, and walked him to the bathroom. She got him in untapping his diaper, helping him sit down and let him alone closing the door. Toby looked at the diaper and saw the plastic was torn on the diaper and knew it was useless.

“Mom, I'm gonna need a new diaper. The plastic on this one is torn.”

“Ok sweety be right back.”

Toby finished his business flushing the toilet and told his mom he was done. She walked in helping him up and to his room laying him on his bed. Toby struggled to get his sweats down as his mom helped. She grabbed a Tranquility since it was close to night time. Sprinkling some powder on it as Toby rolled to one side. She put his tail through the hole, putting little extra powder on and tapping it in place. Toby sat up and got help walking back to the living room to finish his dinner.

It was 9:00 and Toby was getting tired and ready for bed. He got up trying to get to the bathroom on his own but his mom insisted on helping him to the bathroom to wash up. Sitting on the toilet seat, he toke his shirt off as his mom grabbed a wash cloth getting it wet for him.

“I know you want to try and do things on your own but you need help walking sweety. Let me know when your done.”

“Yes mom, thanks.”

Toby washed his body trying his best to clean everything and use soap. Once he got the stinky places cleaned his got his toothbrush and started to brush his teeth as his mom walked by as she was getting ready for bed also. After washing his face he soon finished up and called for his mom. She came back helping him up and off to his room. Toby walked to his dresser grabbing a shirt and hobbling to bed. His mom helped him with his shirt and laying in bed.

“Um mom, can I have my stuff animal you gave me at the hospital?”

“Sure sweety.” His mom said walking to his bag, pulling it out, and giving it to him.
Toby snuggled it laying on his back closing his eyes breathing slowly. His mom kissed his head and smiled. She was thankful her son was alive and not injured to bad, but is sadden by his bladder problem. She got up walking to his door, turning the light off and whispered.

“Love you Toby.”

“Love you mommy.” Toby said softly

He has never called her mommy since he was 12. She walked off and got into bed turning off the light and going to bed. Toby was sound a sleep and started to shake in his sleep. Around midnight his mom got up to use the bathroom and went to check on Toby. She walked over sitting on his side of the bed and few minutes later, he jumped up out of a dead sleep screaming and shaking.

“Shh shh sweety I'm here.” His mom said holding and rocking him.

Toby breathed heavy but was trying to slow it down holding his mom.

“I need to see my car mom. I think if I see it, it may help me some.”

“If you want to dear we can see about doing that. I know you also have other things you need to get out.”

Toby laid back down closing his eyes and went back to sleep. His mom stayed with him just encase and soon went to bed herself.
