Usually, living with someone else who uses the bathroom or restroom helps.

Speaking for my mom, hand rails for getting up/down, and a bidet is such a big help in keeping her independent!!

Would you please address the electrical current feeling strike patients have… my husband said it feels like he’s touching a live wire all the time. Thank you!

I personally haven't had any problems. When caring for my mother she would take her walker into the bathroom with her then with handles facing her she could pull it towards her and lock the wheels. This enabled her to go to the bathroom by herself🎉

Definitely a silver solid hand rail I can get up from any toilet even if it is super low.

Toilet commode frame 'just' exactly fits perfectly between one wall + sink. The legs flair (flare?) slightly, so learned to be careful not to have leg nearest sink catch on shoes when I turn around. The frame itself is fine, with the splash guard that comes with it is great, but the frame itself, the metal piece at the toilet lip, under the seat, is rusting out. Now? Finding a new frame that is exactly the same width/height/size--the width that fits between wall and sink especially---good luck. Same company: Slight change in specs. Nooo. So, I'm becoming a commode frame sourcing expert! These are the 'little' Things. I could be doing shoulder + arm stretch series! I could be running by now! But, no: I'm comparing commode frame specs!

A wonderful physiotherapist named Jami who helped me believe in myself post stroke and take my first step as I learned to walk again.

I have to look online myself because nobody around me helps at all including the first trip to the hospital as it was happening. I had to be in the exam room for 4 hours and the hospital room for 3 weeks. God help you having this happen in South Carolina.

Not really equipment but my wife!!! She lets me know when its time to shave.. I forget and don't think about it when I'm in the shower. Or when I stink she tells me to shower, and I also forget to brush my teeth.... So she reminds me to do that.

Apartment bathroom happens to be small. A very fabulous staff from my Rehab facility reviewing my space before I went home, figured out the tub shower chair needed help. One side, legs inside tub, higher than legs on floor level. Her husband(!) cut a length of wood for under the chair's legs on the floor, wrapped wood with non slip material. My stroke does not affect impulse control or spatial challenges. Therefore, this solution works because I don't bump the wood, check that the legs are on the wood before I bathe, and can wiggle-push it just enough to clean around it. The non-slip material does attract dirt + so I brush it clean. A 'commode' frame over the toilet taught me fast to be careful of the legs. I need the arm rests or I'd use a raised seat. Unexpected? Honestly, I think a couple friends LIKE the frame support (go figure), like toddlers they forever arrived and bee-lined to bathroom(!!) They never did before my stroke. Peculiar. And? It sounds ODD, but I got Bold Enough to request people not come here to Go To the Bathroom. I keep it clean, because I do---I'm conscious of how much I touch when I bumble about, but it's w-o-r-k. I don't have Home Health Aide or cleaning. So, calm down. Get yourself a commode! It's festive, I guess. Tres chic. Ooo-la-la. BTW, I use bucket that comes with frame: stashed upside down under tub-shower chair. I don't like clutter, so I choose not to store things in it; keep it upside down under chair to avoid water when not in use. It's handy. Who knew?
