Hello, fellow forumers. My hubby is in a situation we cannot find an answer for.
He is currently on feeding tube only. This has made his bowel movements much more common.
We have an appointment with MDA on Thursday. This means a 3 hr. car ride each way.
Now, we've got the urinal practice down pat. I need to know how you all travel and have your number 2 needs met. I apologize for my vocabulary. I am very embarrassed and frustrated to be asking.
I can't lift him at all. We have a hoist at home to take care of hygiene needs. We have a transfer board but have had absolutely no luck using it. I'm afraid I couldn't even lift him to change a diaper.
Do you have any ideas?
