    Transition

    My wife is able to stand with assistance long enough for me to prepare her for the commode and to replace her clothing afterwards. We are wondering how to best accomplish these efforts once she is not able to stand without assistance.

    Food and drinks ruining my clothing

    Hi! I have bulbar onset and have started to have real problems with spillage onto my clothes when I eat or drink (mostly when I drink.). Paper towels don’t cut it anymore. Does anyone know how to make or purchase a coverup or bib? Thank you!
