I did the same as Georgina. I shared bed, toilet and everything. However, you should wash your sheets more than every other week. I would do it every week. I have always washed my sheets once a week.

Oh no I didn't know okay I'll start this weekend to wash them every week from now on. I hope that's ok!? And do I need to wash my blanket every week too?? I don't have a washer & dryer I live in a apt complex and I have to walk to my laundry room. So I do laundry once a week but this week I didn't do my bedsheets. Instead i washes my couch cushions lol You think it's okay or is it serious I need to wash them like now?? I'm very careful i wash my hands alot and yesterday I had diarrhea but changed my clothes before I got in bed. And today i have not had any BMs.

It is not necessary to wash the blanket, as you have the sheet underneath it. So, unless you sit on top of the blanket a lot in underwear or without, there is no need to do that. But, washing sheets every week even if you don't have c difficile is good, especially if you have allergies. Dust mites collect in bedding and they can give people allergies.

Okay gotcha and no way I do not sleep in only my underwear I wear pajama bottoms and a long shirt so I i have a extra layer to lay on and if I don't have a long shirt I tie a jacket or a long sleeve shirt around my waist for extra layer when I sit on the couch and lay in bed even if I don't have diarrhea that day. Just to be extra safe lol thank you for your reply I appreciate it
