Toileting

[NancyJ]

Hello,
I have looked back through threads and can't seem to find the answers to my questions. My hubby has Bulbar onset ALS; now unable to walk or help me help him stand up. My question is in regards to clothing (or the lack of). Two weeks ago, I was able to help him stand up from the toilet, then pull up his underwear & sweats. Having taken a fall, he is weaker and now is unable to get up. We can maneuver him to get his pants/underwear down and up when he uses the toilet, but I have no way of doing so when he gets done with a shower. He is in a shower chair, so his butt is still wet. What do we do? I use a hoyer to get him from one chair to another, but I have no idea how to get him dressed now. So..does he just go comando under a lap robe? I am looking into getting a toileting sling..is that what you all do?
Sorry if this is too much info, but thought I should explain our situation.. Thanks for any suggestions!
