Toileting When Wheelchair Bound Posted: 10-24-04 20:10pm
Hi all
this may not be the right place to ask
this question but my father, who is 83
years old is now whellchair bound. He
should be supervised while toileting. How
can he do this when out with my mother.
She obviously can't go into the men's room
with him. I know that you can by devices
to collect urine, but what about bowel
movements. My father would like to be as
independant as possible. He has had all
sorts of stomach problems causing his
bowel movements to be quite irregular.
