I refused to use a bedpan in the hospital even to urinate because the pee ran all over my tush and then I would have to wait until my bath the following morning to clean it off, although a nurse sometimes changed my bedding when she realized what had happened. I held it as long as I possibly could until I was allowed to transfer from my bed to the wheelchair and to the toilet. Now I go every hour or so.<br /><br />Showers were few - whenever I asked to take one, it was clear that the nurse WANTED to refuse, but did only about half the time. Now I'm at 1 or 2 showers a week because it's such an enormous hassle.Barb Polanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14673025156245739311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683912290300109544.post-75912329354245527442012-02-21T00:21:46.074-05:002012-02-21T00:21:46.074-05:00Oh my God woman!!!!
