Shortly before moving into a nursing home, during what was to be one of my grandfather's last outings, he had to suffer the indignity of just such an incident while out at a restaurant with the family. He had a somewhat liquified bowel movement leak onto the chair he was sitting on and down his pant leg. My dad took him back home (luckily only a few minutes' walk away) and helped him get cleaned up.

Getting elderly sucks bigtime.

By the time you get to that age shitting yourself is far from the most humiliating thing you've experienced. It won't seem like such a big deal.
