I have been contemplating some changes that would definitely ease my way. (Snicker..ease my way..and I am definitely referring to urination and defecation) O.K., so most of us take using a regular old toilet for granted. I don't. It can be and often is a real pain in my arse area as well as my legs, feet and back. The more times I need to go, the worse it gets. So, I will overcome this. I don't want to be nasty though! Regular shower peeing is gross and not happening! Absolutely NO pooping in the shower either! So what can be done? I have looked at toilet bowl risers and contemplated how greater height would be somewhat of an advantage. Alas it would not make things much better because the bending and sitting to do the business are still required. I have been contemplating devices that make it possible for women to pee standing up. Oh yes! Mine will be here soon! Ah, half of the problem taken care of!
For anyone else out there that needs to not sit or bend, here is what I am trying:
Oohoo I'm excited about this! This is dirt cheap on Amazon! I'll let you know how it goes. There are fancier and more expensive models available. I hope an upgrade will not be required.
The poop issue is another matter. I have not found a device to ease stand up pooping. I really really don't want to bomb my bathroom with stinkers that land off target or that have a record splash down. Or, what if it's an episode of runners and goes down me? It would be SO nice not to torture myself for a poop! I considered just going out with the dogs and dropping it into a flower pot in the yard, then washing off with the garden hose-but what would the neighbors think and do? I'm still working on this dilemma and of course I Googled on this journey. If you can laugh at the gross, then you might just laugh as much as I did when I found this: http://deadspin.com/5424415/sitters-vs-standers--the-great-wipe-hope Oh, so descriptive! Of course, there is also a wiki how-to on stand up pooping. On the other side of the elimination spectrum, there is this torture: http://www.squattypotty.com/5-problems-with-sitting-on-your-toilet/
I gnash my teeth and snarl at the promotors of the Squatty Potty! I'm flying the bird at that one right now, and haha, you can't see it. I never said that I was peacefully or gracefully coming to terms with the need for lifestyle modifications.
