Our bathroom isn't going to be suitable. It's small and will be a problem getting a wheelchair into the space but for now it's OK. Stephen can still walk, he is determined that everything is to be as normal as possible. But toilet wise, he cannot reach certain parts and he won't let me help. Consequently bedding and clothing is not very pleasant and he is going to become very sore. Our son has said we can do whatever is needed to help with his dad in the flat. So I asked, as Stephen has such difficulty using his hands, could we have a bio bidet or similar. Our loo is of modern design so the fittings won't fit over the top. So why not put in a new loo? Not exactly expensive. So we've been offered a dignity commode. Now I can imagine how he is going to feel about that. Dignity?! How can that be dignified? It's like using a potty and knowing I will have to empty it will really upset him. Its going to be an issue emptying and washing it. I wanted help for him and me not more work. I don't even see how he will lift himself off it and in the long run I'm not going to get a commode chair over it. I don't see where a hoist would go and no idea where I'd put it. Looks like our chances of getting a wet room will be not even up for negotiation.
