I really need help. My mother-in-law lives with my husband and me, and she is the one with the colostomy (she has had it for 15 years). She is only 67 and is otherwise healthy (but lazy). My problem is the splashing that she cares nothing about. Every single day, it is all over my bathroom - the walls, the floor, the toilet, the clothes hamper. I mean, nothing in my bathroom is safe. I can't say anything about it or I catch hell from my husband to the point of divorce if this doesn't change.
My question is: is this splashing normal? Is there anything that can be done to stop it?
