For most people answering the call of Mother Nature is a pretty easy and fairly simple task to perform. For someone like myself who uses a wheelchair to get around, answering the call of Mother Nature is not always easy but it's a fact of life that we all have to go bathroom in our daily lives. Even those who are disabled like myself have to do it. We just do it in a different way.
Still, there are times when I wish I didn't have to rely on my Mom, Dad or any other caregiver for help in performing a simple task that most people don't really have to worry about and is a no-brainer because when the feeling hits it can be taken care of fairly quickly and without too much hassle.
When it comes to going bathroom for someone like me who is disabled, it can be hard at times to go. At this point I'll try to do my best to continue our discussion of this sensitive and somewhat embarrassing topic without being too graphic.
The first thing to consider is the equipment needed for such a thing. The two most common items my Family and I use are a urinal for going number one and a shower chair for going number two primarily. Sometimes I do go number one when I sit on the shower chair.
When using the urinal to go bathroom, the toughest thing that I have to deal with sometimes is working up a feeling. Sometimes it comes and goes. Other times it is really strong and I can go within a few seconds of being set up to do my business.
There are other times when it does take a while for me to go. It is during those times when my hand gets stiff and tired from holding the urinal in place and I have to have my parents tie the seat belt on my wheelchair around the handle of my urinal so that I can take my time and relax when going bathroom.
Even with this setup, I sometimes lose the feeling and I do tend to get frustrated on days when I'm having a hard time going, but I do the best I can to relax not worry about it too much and remember that there will always be a next time to answer the Call of Mother Nature.
