Hi Everyone. I am new to this and still waiting a formal diagnosis but am at the stage of no longer being able to weight bear and arms and hands starting to deteriorate. Speech is fine but coughing, sneezing amd nose blowing not what it was.
How do people with similar lack of mobility as me manage toiletting at home and out of the home. I am currently using a transfer board to get onto a commode - won't work kn a toilet. This is getting harder and I am starting to need help. And at night my bare bum often gets stuck on the board despite using talc to help. I am now having to ask hubby to help me in the middle of the night.
And what do you do when you go out? I can't get on to a disabled, or any, toilet. We are going to see family tomorrow and are taking our commode to push into the disabled toilet in the pub! But can't always do this. And this is our first outing since my mobility has got totally non existent.
Do you wear incontinence underwear? Or am I missing a simple solution?
