Everything seems to going wrong all at once in the past couple weeks. My mom lost use of both her legs (we are getting a hoyer lift) and we were just starting to nail down a new routine for that.
However yesterday I notice she was unable to pee all day. We took her to the bathroom 3 times per her request and each time she could not pee. I finally called the hospice nurse and she said it may be a neurogenic bladder. They came in and put in a catheter last night. Has anyone else had to deal with this and have suggestions on how to best take care of it?
Another issue we may be facing soon trouble with pooping. I took her to use the bathroom this morning and she was not able to get much out, pretty much nothing.
