3) Full “Sewage Tank”
What is the biggest challenge to people with limited or no mobility in legs? Walking? NO. I think Going to toilet.
People always ask me how do you go to toilet. I said I don’t need to go to toilet. Not even one day, maybe a few days. (Even a normal person needs to go to toilet a few times per day.) Do you believe?
Because of my injury, it affects my bowel and bladder control. I cannot use my power to hold. Once the time comes, they are opened immediately by itself. It is very inconvenient. And I cannot move my legs and my transfer from wheelchair is hopeless. Does it mean I need to sit on a toilet 24/7? Fortunately there is a contingency product called Catheter. It is a tube to help draining the sewage liquid from bladder. It would be one time use for those have good hand function or indwelling one which I am using. Why indwelling? There is a hole at my tummy to let the catheter tube go into my bladder and a leg bag is connected to the other end to hold the sewage. The tube stays in my bladder for around 6 weeks before getting a new one.
