How I Pee in Bed at Night Without Getting Up!
Vložit

- When you have a spinal cord injury, you don't get a break from having to manage you bladder, even at night. I wake up at least twice a night to pee and the last thing I want to do is transfer out of bed and go into the bathroom to do it!
I have pretty much always peed in bed using cheap gladware containers.
In this video I walk you through how I pee in bed at night without getting up. It's a lifesaver for my quality of sleep!
Not complicated or pretty but real!

As a nurse, I can't tell you how empowering and reassuring this is to people who have recently been paralyzed and are struggling to imagine how to deal with every day life. Your efforts are pur gold to so many people in need. Bless you.
I hope so!
👍
I came across your video by chance. I'm so impressed with your matter of fact manner and attitude to a reality of life that many people deal with behind closed doors. I don't think a lot of us are aware enough of the difficulties people with impaired abilities deal with just to navigate everyday life. Good for you for bringing this out in the open, and wishing you a happy life!!
@@scallaghan2118 Thanks for stopping by and watching!
Agree100% i was going to say pretty much same thing. Empowerment is KEY. I love being a nurse. However I have never been "in your shoes" so to speak. I learn more from patients who have been dealing with long term illness or conditions from the patient than I could EVER read in a book. This is super helpful for other folks trying to deal with life changing events, and super helpful for caregivers to educate "us" on ways to help educate our patients. Thank you so very very much for sharing.
Young lady
I am a disabled Marine and I have had multiple spinal injuries and multiple surgeries although I am fortunate not to be paralyzed and needing to have to use this I want to commend you on your courage and I respect what you are doing.
I wish you much happiness and keep doing what you are doing.
Thank you and God bless
Thank you!
Jeff, sorry you, like so many in America, Germany, Brittian and some other countries suffer the wounds caused by wars..... These wars are promoted by the so called elite who want, and are getting it, world control and power..... SO, did you, like so many injured and dead military go through all this to save your country?...... NO! you all went through hell for the rich man's pockets....( I wish people would wake up.... I too am incumbered and know what this young pretty girl and other brave souls are going through....
STAND UP STAY STRONG!...
Good luck to you sounds so hollow... I wish you well friend....
Thank you all for sharing your stories because it takes us all to let others know that we aren't alone.
God bless you all and keep up the fight.
I thank you for your service, Mr. Needham.
Wouldn’t you be decommissioned?
Omg, I have new appreciation for my legs. I'm never gonna complain about getting up to pee in the middle of the night again. Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏
You're welcome!
Do u need too
@@EmpoweredPara xxx
Same! I needed to see this because I have taken life for granted lately.
What amazing courage you have to share such a personal video which will help so many other disabled people to achieve what you have been able to do so effortlessly. You should be well proud of yourself.
Absolutely. What a courageous, beautiful young woman she is! A true inspiration.
Thanks! I am pretty proud of myself actually lol.
@@EmpoweredPara And you should be. Best wishes from (far-away) South Africa. 😘
Nothing gross about it. It's all natural. You're an inspiration.
Thanks ❤️
Kuddos for that comment, yes let’s normalize body funtions. I have other health issues and thankfully I’m also able to do things without feeling like I’m gross. I’m glad she is showing others in the same situation how to make things easier.
@@EmpoweredPara I am not disabled, but I actually keep a water jug in my room to pee in it so I don’t have to use the restroom at night. I use rubbing alcohol to sanitize my hands 🙌 after… Is that wrong??? It feels so lazy, but also so easy… Obviously I am a guy lol.
@@chessc.3407 “let’s normalize bodily functions” ah yes let’s burp and fart everywhere
You are great to share your life with people who are completely ignorant of these things.
Thanks!
A reminder to everyone in CZcams land and elsewhere: When you think of all the “things” you don’t have, think of ALL the things you could have but don’t. And to the lovely star of this video, I commend your brave heart for sharing with others in hopes of helping their situation.
I appreciate how you are comfortable sharing your reality with the world. My wife is wheelchair bound but can't use her arms to control anything but the basic of movements, she has to move the wheel chair with her legs. Lately she has been getting up more frequently to pee at night and it is taking her much longer to empty her bladder. She wears adult diapers to bed but can't force her bladder to empty while wearing them so has to go through the ritual of getting out of bed into and out of her wheel chair. She still has the use of her legs to get up in the bed or onto the toilet but if she is really weak I have to help her do most of it. Sometimes in a public venue, she has to rely on the kindness of strangers to help her if I can't go in with her. The two of us can sometimes get pretty worn out just getting through the day. Thank God for hospice!
What Country are you in?
Good Husband!
How would one know if a disabled person needed help and when should one offer help? If i saw someone similar to your wife I would offer assistance. What is the proper way to do so?
@@jacquelinewubbena6604 Great question my dear. Speaking as a quadriplegic my advice is simply offer in case the person need's-without being pushy. I'm sure the person will truly appreciate it :)
Is it possible to use a disabled toilet? Thy are roomy, usually clean, with handrails and a basin and some have a shower if needed.
As a nurse I commend you for sharing your excellent skills and helping so many people who are disabled. You have done this with such grace and in a very positive manner. Thank you so much and God Bless you! You are such a lovely and amazing young lady, your parents and all who see you will be so very proud of you!
Thanks! I hope they are proud!
brilliant, we able bodied people take this action for granted without giving a thought to those less able. Thank you for sharing something so personal, very brave and well done. I hope this helps a lot of others in the same situation x
I totally took all of this for granted before I was paralyzed! It's natural. We only know what we live and that's the beauty of life! diverse perspectives and experiences!
At seventy one I've lived a fairly full life and with very few exceptions I've always been able to take care of myself. Nothing special about that. Still, I feel very blessed. You are a true inspiration. You are not asking for anything but are educating and helping all those who watch your videos. God bless.
Seeing this is just a reminder of how much I am unaware of what others go through on a daily basis.
Bless you and may God watch over you.
Thank you for being so open!
We're all unaware of the things people live with. Just how it is lol. I am ignorant about so many things. Thanks for taking the time to watch my video and learn a little of what my life is like!
Hi! I’m a certified home health aide and I love finding different ways to help my patients. It’s nice to know of different options to try for them. I always let my patients try to do things for themselves because that’s always the best way to help with their independence so thank you for sharing!
No problem! I had to figure out my own way to do everything and I think just doing it is the best way to learn. I have not always been happy to struggle at first while i figure things out but it pays off in the end!
You are wonderful, I was completely ignorant of the trouble you have to go just to pee, thank you for making me understand how simple things in life is much harder and longer to do, 💖🙏your life gets better and happier with each day
You are a brave and beautiful young woman. I am so glad you are so positive and making life happen instead of just letting it get you down. Admirable and outstanding !! It took strength to share with folks this part of your daily routine.
Thanks! Changing lives one inappropriate video at a time lol
OMG. I just accidentally found your video. I'm a 73 YO male doctor, and I have had enlarged prostate for about twenty years now, and have always felt like its such a pain in the butt that I pee real slowly, and have to go real BAD, (not just in the night, but anytime) if I have even a teensy bit of urine in my bladder. I have never even thought about how lucky I am, that I can just get up and go, even if it takes five minutes to make a quarter cup, sometimes. That you don't have the luxury I have of being totally mobile, and yet are so (at least apparently) well adjusted to how you do stuff for yourself, makes me embarrassed that I could think I have it hard. G-d bless you, for your attitude, and for sharing.
Well we all have our struggles and peeing a lot at night sucks no matter what lol. Best always to focus on what we can control and not what pisses us off lol. Glad you enjoyed my video!
I also have an enlarged prostate and I take 5 mg of Proscar (Finasteride) every day to go much less often to pee.
Hey doc, you ever consider getting a supra public ? I am a T-12 L-1 in-complete para. The best thing I ever did for my self was was get one plus a colostomy, now I'm a 2 bagger but without all the complications of involuntary bowel movements and UTI's from intermediate cathitorisations.
@@richardweaver832 3 the
Just curious doc, what kind of treatment have you gotten for your BPH?
I’ve been self cathetorising for 38 years, due to being born with spina bifida aculta, and having gone through failed spinal surgery, I’m now 65 and consider myself to be very lucky I have full use of all my limbs. I just wanted to say how amazing you are, to be sharing your daily life and educating others on how we can live ‘normal’ lives. I look forward for to watching more of your videos.
Welcome! So glad to have you part of my community!
guys thank you so much for existing. you are amazing and you are very important to me. it’s so good that you’re doing all this publicly, it’s so inspiring and genuine and good-hearted. we have very different lives and we have very different bodies and countries and stories and ages but i’m so glad that i know something about you and this warms me up from the inside to live on
@@proskuryak we are all in this together!
I have SB myelomeningocele! I’m 39.
You are a very blessed woman, you had the courage of taking this to YT. I had a TBI (Traumatic brain injury) when I was in the Marines and that led to an Aneurism with 3 stroke and complete failure to my right side, even took my right vision and my hearing. It's day to day but some people take handicap folks for granted. Not knowing what we can and will overcome, they will never understand.
God Bless
❤️
@Ernest SEMPER FI Brother ! 84-97
Semper fi brother, how right you are.👍1967
Thank you SO much for being so open and educational about this. I currently am fighting bladder cancer and the thought of eventually having to catheterize myself has been a subject of trepidation for me...this video has helped me know that it's doable and you've presented here a method that I think is similar to where I may end up eventually. THANK you!
Hi 👋how are you doing?
It's super intimidating at first but you'll get it if the times comes that it's necessary! Just takes practice!
I’m having to do isc because of bladder tumour. It was daunting at first thinking I could never do it but 3 weeks on I’m finding it better every day. Nothing to worry about 🥰
As a nurse as well as others here, I can’t tell you how much I admire you for making these videos. I’m sure they are a lifesaver for so many. You are an inspiration in how you cope with these challenges.
Hey girl your a real inspiration to the gimp world. I'm a T-12 L-1 incomplete para from a car accident. I'm 75 now and have been a gimp since 1984. I saw a video about 20 years ago regarding what your video is about except for men. It changed my life. I used to do intermittent catheterization but got too many UTI,s. Love your video your the REAL DEAL and an INSPIRATION to us all.
Thanks! Means a lot that a veteran gimp thinks I'm doing something important:)
@@EmpoweredPara 👍
Bless you for sharing your very personal information. You have learned to be independent and sharing your knowledge will help the recently "misabled" folks see how it is possible to cope. I am a double AK amputee (Vietnam 1971) and I never wanted to ask for help. As I grew old , all the things that came easy for not having legs in my way became harder and harder. I still am able to do much around the house, but my 19 YO grandson checks in every few day and he always asks what I need him to do. He loves his "Pop" Grandfather. I am very lucky to have a still teenager that helps me. Maybe I should do a video to answer some of the questions I get from curious kids before their parents makes them HUSH. I will always try to answer the children as best I can without traumatizing them, :) Gee mister are you sitting on your legs? How do you put your pants on?, Does it hurt?, Are you married?, Is your wife disabled?, Do you have ant children?, Do you have a car?, How do you drive without any legs,. And on and on. But I really don't mind because I love children and make an effort to be friendly and open with them, because they mean me no harm. I am their ambassador for disabled people. Thanks again,
jlw
Definitely make a video! people are always curious! Plus I love your attitude and perspective on being an ambassador for children!
The very best of luck to you
Thank you so much for your service and sacrifice.
I truly believe that answering those questions that children have tears down the walls to build a ramp!
Hey Jack, I too am a Nam Vet, you were year 1971, and I was 1o67. Your lucky to have a grandson who is caring, I go to the VA and realize how fortunate I am to just be paralyzed after I see other Vets who are much worse off than myself. I"m proud to have shared this little tidbit with you. Who knows maybe we rubbed shoulders once..👍
This is something I have never thought about I'm amazed to see how people deal with these challenges thank you for educating me
You're welcome!
Your zest for life and upbeat attitude is the only thing I watched this for.
Well thanks for stopping by!
You really explained the whole process so well. I showed my brother, he is paraplegic and he said he wishes he had the courage to do something like this
It gets easier and you get braver over time! Tell him I said to go for it! We need more people in wheelchairs on CZcams!
@@EmpoweredPara thanks for the reply, I will show him this and hope that’s enough to build his confidence
At 76, I am going to think twice before I complain about the simple things in life. Very inspiring video.
It’s incredibly inspiring having someone talk about an experience like this so confidently and shamelessly. It’s a wonderful trait. Thank you.
My pleasure! I just a TMI expert lol
Thank you to this wonderful, thoughtful, young woman and all the good people appreciating, commenting and supporting her bravery as she educates us all. Blessings to you all. From a seventy four year old senior.
Outstanding, have just subscribed to your channel. At 56 I can't believe I'm only now being educated on this. We need more people like you. RESPECT !
Hey we all live in out own worlds! There are so many things I don't know! Glad you are interested in learning more about my life!
Some people have no idea how exact you must be, and you describe it beautifully. Thank you for sharing just one of the obstacles that a handicapped person must conquer. We take so much for granted. You are a beautiful soul!
You're the bravest person I've met in a long, long time.
thanks ❤️
One of the kindest and most thoughtful videos I’ve ever watched. Well done, you’re a star xx
You are obviously an amazingly strong person. Thank you so much for being able to open up and explain such a potentially embarassing part of your day to day life. It means so much for so many people who may be reluctant to actually voice such questions.
What a helpful lady. So thankful that I was able to show my disabled friend.
happy to be a resource for your friend!
THANK YOU BEYOND WORDS. YOU HAVE GIVEN ME MORE INSIGHT IN 10 MINUTES THAN I Have known about this process during my whole life. GOD BLESS YOU.
Happy to educate!
It is hard being disabled having to deal with it everyday of my life for 51 years.
You have given me a new reality of what people with handicaps go through. It’s something that most people without handicaps don’t think about. Bless you. ❤🌹🌹
Happy to shed some light on this aspect of life for you!
What a beautiful and brave young woman you are. I have worked with disabled people and this is something that I never had to deal with so it's illuminating hearing you describe your process. I did work once with a paraplegic lady who use to call us with working legs 'Walkie-talkies' and she found it funny. But thank you for describing your amazing experiences.
You're welcome! Walkie talkie is a cute nickname lol
You are so brave to learn how to help yourself in the middle of the night. You are a TOTAL inspiration!
There is a product called a “she wee”. which might be even easier, unless the catheter is a necessary device. It’s a shaped cup with a tube attached. The tube could be as long as you need and could go outside the bedclothes into a container on the floor or under the bed. Cleaning up and emptying might not be so discreet though. I dont know how you came into my feed but l watched out of curiosity and will watch again. Thankyou for being so generous and brave to share your technique so openly. Respect to you from Australia. 🌈🐨
I had thought about that device also. She is so brave and beautiful! Admire her so much! ❤
Thankfully I am completely mobile. But like most people I have to pee in the middle of the night too. I had not thought about how anyone in a wheelchair might deal with this topic before. Your information on things you use is very helpful. Maybe a catheter company will answer your request for a flexible larger size tube.
Thanks for sharing, I don't work in our polytrauma/SCI ward but Each patient has a nurse here. Have a blessed day, I am sorry you are going thru this, but thankful you have found YOUR way.
Also it’s so cool how quickly you’re able to put in the catheter. I had one when I was giving birth to my son and it was so painful for me and took the nurse way longer than it took you to put it in. I was sore in that spot for a few months after too, I am amazed that you are so good at doing that and it doesn’t seem to bother you because you’re so skilled. That’s really amazing. I love seeing how independent you are in spite of your challenges. It makes me realize I could be doing so much more for myself and I make excuses when I really shouldn’t.
It took years of practice to get that fast!
I really take going to the bathroom whenever I want for granted. I have massive respect for you to be able to overcome these obstacles and live life to the fullest.
Wow. It is amazing how you are able to do that. I love how you don't let things hold you back.
You`re Amazing !!!! To go through all that every night !!!! I had a stroke which paralysed me for a week or so down my left side, and that was bad enough !!!! I don`t think I could cope the way you can. I would be tired out before I even woke up !!!!!
Your honest vulnerability, paired with your confidence, is an inspiration. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
We all want to know how to cope if we develop mobility difficulties or a friend does. Thankyou for sharing valuable, essential, information & making it clear & straightfoward. You are a good teacher.
Why thank you!
In my later years of life I still get frustrated by impositions big and small. I am brought to humbleness when I come across someone who has handicaps, most significantly quads and more so when they are young.
It reminds me of the thought 'there for the grace of God go I' and to stop my whining!
Thank you for reminding me.
lol hey we all get to complain sometimes .
Thank you for being so open and learning me 🙏🏻
you're welcome!
Thank you for your openness and honesty. All of us faced with any kind of chronic illness must learn how to do what we did before in a different way. I think sharing whatever we learn to do that enables us to keep going ourselves can really help others, sometimes even the simplest things can be a challenge and sharing our "hacks" can really help others..
A friend here who is paralyzed, when I told him I never thought of bowel and bladder being affected, told me “you don’t know what you don’t know”. Man, he is a wise dude!
Wise words lol! It's true!
@@EmpoweredPara Sorry I’m sooo far behind getting to comment. I watched all your videos first time on big screen TV where I can’t comment. Now I’m re-watching them on a PC and on an iPad where I can comment.
Simple things we take for granted takes a lot more effort from someone in this young ladies situation. Thank you for your courage to show other younger paraplegic women.
Happy to be a,source of information for others!
So much respect for you sharing your journey. Thank you
You're welcome!
Bless your heart Hon ❤️ Showing people that might really need this is so helpful. Thank you for having this channel ❤️
You are a sweet, beautiful & kind person to share these very personal details, I am sure this will really help other people who have to deal with a similar disability.
From a Doctor, thanks you for making this video, great factual content, very useful.
You're welcome! Thanks for taking the time to learn more about life with a spinal cord injury!
What courage you have! How many things we take for granted.
Blessings to you ❤️
Wow you are awesome ❤️ I love how honest and open you are. Thanks for answering topics that everyone wants to know about but are too shy to ask
That right there is literally my entire reason for having a CZcams channel. So many people are curious but are too afraid to ask!
@@EmpoweredPara ❤️❤️👍
I really like your confidence and really hope that you always stay happy
Thanks!
I truly admire you for posting this. Very helpful for others and presented in such a natural way. Love your positive attitude and your smile throughout the video. Not dealing with anything like this myself but will remember this if ever I would be in a similar condition.
Gotta smile through it or I would cry lol. It's a necessary part of my life. I don't like doing it but I like not being full of poop lol!
When I was 10 years old, I woke up and couldn't move from the neck down. My mom thought I was joking, but sadly... no joke.
Learning how to pee into a coke bottle was hard at first... and the pinched nerve only lasted for 3 weeks, thank goodness, but yes, thank you for the video.
omg that would have been terrifying. Thank gosh it was temporary
Never considered this issue, thanks for being so open.
Anytime!
Kudos to you for helping others. I wish I had your confidence.
You seem to be a very brave woman to share this
Thanks for being open about that and sharing
I think it’s really thoughtful and wonderful that you make these videos. I admire your strength
Thank you for sharing this information. Most of us have no idea as to what it is to have your condition. Bless you and thanks for giving me a better day. My wife passed away 10 months ago. I'm still dealing with her loss and you made me see how I could be in so much worse condition. You are truly a special person. I hope I can obtain your level of resolve. Thank you again.
I'm sorry to hear about your wife. it takes a lot of strength and courage to lose someone you love and keep living life to the fullest. If my video helped you find gratitude then I'm glad:)
@@EmpoweredPara Thank you for your reply. It means so much.
You are such an inspiration. And brave to go on YT and video yourself. :)
just making videos I wish I had when I was first paralyzed!
Great demonstration of a very personal night time routine. Thank you for sharing. This will help so many people ❤
You're such a blessing for all of us that needed the information
Thank for doing that demo for us .❤l am a older man and have pee a lot at night.It a pain to have to get up and try to back to sleep.You are a very strong woman to do that demo on you tub.
i admire your grit and determination.I would have a urostomy bag installed or a cath that drains to a bag attached to my leg.
Thank you for sharing how you handle this. I love your matter of fact and upbeat approach on what could be an embarrassing subject. You put me at ease straightaway and I learned a lot. Thank you again.
You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you so much for graphically demonstrating the dynamics of this.. I have just been diagnosed with ALS and will be facing this very soon. Getting out of bed middle of night currently 2-3 times is becoming more difficult. Again,,gratitude for your upbeat approach.. your youth and ingenuity is encouraging! Good night..and God Bless you!
I hope you keep your mobility and bladder control for a long time! But you'll be ok if you lose it. Just have to learn a few new tricks:)
This video is going to help alot of people, Im so glad you made it. Your very cour ageous doing this and posting it ❤
What a great solution! I'm a female with a lower spinal injury, causing extreme pelvic & sciatic pain. I use my wheelchair, but it's too wide to fit through the bathroom doorway..., causing me to kinda hop in the rest of the way (which is a real treat when half asleep & with a full bladder). I keep a plastic, screw-top lidded container in my nightstand but that has it's own set of issues. Thanks for giving me a completely, previously unknown way to deal with this situation! p.s. Guys are so lucky... 😉
guys are lucky in some ways but I wouldn't want that super long urethra lol
@@EmpoweredPara Yeah, you're right~ Have a great day! 🙂
Thank you for posting this! Your courage in making this video is awesome! So many will benefit.
Thank you! I hope so!
I don’t know why this was recommended to me, but I think you are an inspiration to everyone. You rock.
Thanks !
Thank you for the valuable lesson for all of the people who don’t know this. Hopefully some will pass this video on to those that need to know. You are beautiful.
Thanks!
Very informative video. Thanks.
I am amazed that you showed us it ciompletely and it felt very reasassuring and informative..and very kind and brave of you to share this. YOU are an amazing person!!
I just came across your video. Thank you so much for sharing your approaches to taking care of your needs and empowering yourself and others. It is a blessing that you teach others to understand your life and the challenges you face & yet overcome. This teaches in so many ways for those who have or do not have your challenge. It is definitely important that we all learn and develop compassion for one another's challenges. Thank you again and Joy, Peace, & Blessings to you Always
🇦🇺 thank you for being so honest about something that people don’t want to talk about
So proud of you x
Thanks for the video! We sometimes complain for little things and do not realize what other people have to go through in life! Very helpful for whoever is in that condition, but believe it, we never know when our turn comes!
Yep disability doesn't discriminate! None of us with spinal cord injuries thought we'd end up in a wheelchair one day!
Id love to see more of your everyday thins . Your really inspiring
I'm trying to vlog more!
So proud of you❤
NGL, I was confused by the title of this video at first because I had no knowledge of your channel or who you were. But now I am enlightened! Thank you!
yeah in hindsight it is a confusing thumbnail lol
Good on you for taking care of yourself like the strong independent woman you are. I've been bed ridden before so it can be a pain in the rear end. Don't know why I'm watching this honestly but if your willing to share your story... I'll check it out and give you some support with another CZcams view! Keep being you. Your awesome!
we all go down worm holes of videos that we have no idea why we're watching lol. Glad you clicked on my video!
@@EmpoweredPara You have a point. Lol. Your welcome. Your a cool girl. Don't ever change that! Hope all is well. Stay healthy and stay safe in these crazy times empowered!
@@toddpatrick8254 aye aye captain lol!
Thanks for that tutorial on a topic that maybe 90% of people have no clue about. I'm impressed at your willingness to share your routine with the public, considering how sexually oriented many Americans are & you may be setting yourself up for criticism & trolling. Brave on, Girl!
There are definitely creeps lol. But I tolerate them because I know there are others the video really helps
You may well be the most courageous person I've ever seen.
You're pretty frikkin awesome. Not only for figuring out how to record this without showing any YT-shamed body parts (so that this video is able to actually reach people), but for knowing that those who have recently become paralyzed need to see this actually work; not necessarily for logistics, but to see that their newly altered life IS DOABLE with a little bit of imagination.
lol believe me I wondered if this (and other videos of mine) were appropriate 🤣. But then I thought fuck it lol. People that are newly paralyzed need to see this! Glad you agree that it's helpful and not inappropriate lol
@@EmpoweredPara *hugs* never underestimate the power of fuck it!
Omg it was so painful to watch in a sense of human dignity..what a courage this girl has
Unbelievable
You are an amazing person for sharing this to help others!
I'm not amazing lol. Just doing what I think is important!
You are one amazing young lady! Be strong and keep kicking butt!
An inspirational video. Well done.
I have to try to help my wife who suffers with Altzheimer’s disease.
I can set a three hour timer, day and night, and many times it‘works’ !!
If for some reason or another it doesn’t, she wears Tena disposable pads/pants which also work incredibly well.
I now hardly ever need to wash the sheets because of ‘overflow’…. And this has made a huge difference.
The message is that urinary and faecal incontinence can be‘managed’….
Wow...as a person who has had to learn to walk with club feet. I am so sorry :(, not necessarily for you, as you are not after sympathy but because I have taken everything for granted. Thank you for knocking me down a notch or two. I deserve it, you truly are inspirational and is a humbling honour and a pleasure to learn how a quad copes with what we term as a simple thing. Take care and keep safe, may God bless you, hooroo from Down Under. 🥰
Great video. Couldn't move my legs for about 6 weeks after an operation, but fine now. Experience made me appreciate people like you even more. Have you tried using a urine bottle that men use instead of the plastic box? You might be able to then use a less flexible longer catheter because you wouldn't need to bend it.
Your awesome young lady.
I have spinal issues and don't know where this goes and ends. Good info!
