Guest guest Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Der Beth - been there on most of the poopie problems so don't fear asking. With my guy Jan the urge seemed to arrive unexpectedly as brain chemicals accumulated often during sleep. When peristaltic movement began he would bear down to make sure, then head for the toilet too quickly. Brain commands cease, BP and muscles fail to respond and confusion leads to hazardous bathroom falls. Meanwhile the body attempts to finish a necessary function - one thing at a time. Messes are preferable to impactions. Problem is, nothing works right anymore and stubborn MSAers won't accept new incapacities or restrictions. Jan couldn't go without sitting up and could topple anything other than a secure oversized wheelchair so I had a hole cut in an old one, put kitchen bags under the opening, and this portapotty served until the Leaning Pisa syndrome overwhelmed the locked vehicle center of gravity and restraining belts. More falls. Next came a huge pillowed easy chair adapted with outhouse/thundermug accessories and harness against fainting fallouts. Lift for transport and placement, secure privacy for longtime endeavors served well until Jan could no longer sit up. Details on any stage or invention are yours for the asking. Portapotty was such a success that hospitals here have them lined up in the halls waiting for the double ring - should have patented the kitchen bag feature. Trade you info - trying to find out what is a klutzer in a teensy Sutherin library with no help and few books - by phone yet cause I am velcroed to this hospital bed and know little about computer behavior except that this one eats my stuff. Bye, Happycrappy you all from Louisiana Louise where politician rage is slinging offensive verbiage in all directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
