Re: help w/equipment ideas

Bill,

Thank you for all of this information. I'm printing it out so that

can look over it and know what to ask for. You gave us info that I had not

even thought of. We were thinking small turning radius because of the doors

in the house and the difficulty getting around in here, hadn't thought about

tipping over... now that would really be a mess.

thanks again,

Deborah

Jan,

Thanks for the info. What is the brand name of the toilet on wheels.

said he saw one but that the person using it would have to stand up

in order to remove the commode bucket before being able to be transferred

over the toilet. It there one that you know of that the bucket could be

removed w/o removing the patient first?

As independent and successful as I was, I never thought that the day would

come that I would be discussing my toileting difficulties with people I have

never met and asking them what would help make it easier for my husband to

help me with these matters. At 40, I should be worrying about menopause not

toilet chairs! Oh sighhhhh....

Thanks Jan and everyone who has sent us info. We do appreciate it very

much.

Hugs,

Deborah

Deborah-

The Chair we have happens to fit over our handicap toilet so we don't

need to put the bucket in. I just wheel the chair (while he is

sitting on it) into the bathroom over the toilet and that's it. It

does come with an attachment if the toilet seat is too low so you can

roll it over avg. height toilets. As for the enclosed bucket, there

is no way that I can see to remove it without standing up. I will go

find my paperwork and see if I can find the name.
