Hi all,
Don’t know if anyone can share or help my problem. After emptying bowel, my legs just go to jelly! I am a wheelchair user but my legs normally give me enough to stand for a few moments at least.
Not sure why things change so much after emptying? Makes it so hard wiping/pulling up trousers.
Any advice would be welcome!
Thanks.
P.S Had to go anonymous!!!
Hi, yes…bowels are fun for me too.
I am also a wheelie.
What I find so tiring is all the necessary paperwork. I get a sore arm and hand.
I do some transfers by using a turner (Tina) and some by hoist. But the turner ones are soooo tiring. I do it to keep some leg strength for outings.
Everything we do is damned exhausting. I feel like I`ve climbed a mountain when going to the loo.
Have you ever thought about a closomat loo?
Looking forward to using the new Changing Places loo in Leeds new shopping centre. They have a hoist! I`m so excited…sad, innit?
luv Pollx
