I see that other people have similar problems. The person I care for is an older, obese man with lots of health issues and he can't aim his urinary flow at all anymore. We've put down towels in the bathroom, and that helps in there. Of course I have to wash out lots more towels more often, but that's not impossible. The big problem is that he uses the kitchen trash barrel, especially when he has his pants on (not just pajamas) and he doesn't want to leak all over his pants. I'm at my wits' end with the smell and carrying down heavy loads to the garbage all the time. I'm doubling up bags and putting in shredded newspapers to avoid the bags leaking - it's like having a new puppy, only way bigger and nowhere near as cute. Does anyone know if there's some kind of thing that helps men aim? Like a big funnel or something? It doesn't help matters that our landlord put in a very low toilet years ago. He uses a plastic booster seat for defecating, but he won't sit to urinate and it probably wouldn't work because of his size. He doesn't need adult diapers, and I certainly am not ready to change them - if it ever gets to that point, he needs more help than I can give him at home, that's for sure. He got one of those bottles to go in when he was hospitalized, but he can't use that by himself (can't see himself down there, for one thing), so whatever he would use to aim would have to be quite a bit bigger at the input end of it, and not rough or scratchy like the hospital bottle. Anybody know of anything like I'm suggesting, or even what it would be called in order to search for it? I've had more than I can take, and of course I have to be able to take everything and do everything without complaining!
Place one by the toilet and one by the trash can. if you can't find the funnel with the extension buy the largest funnel you can find and purchase a length of rigid plastic tubing that the end of the funnel can be jammed firmly into. If he can grasp his penis and the funnel I think there is a better chance of getting the job done cleanly.
I'm sorry, I know it's a problem, but it's striking me funny as a bunch of women try to solve this issue with the politest language and euphemisms possible. :)
I don't see any men helping us out.
Capt any ideas? you must know some obese men.
