does anyone know what constitutes "several times throughout the day"?

Invalidation, I have reported your posts to Abuse.

When my husband is having an exacerbation he finds it difficult to get to the loo for a pee. A urinary bottle by his armchair is a very useful aid in these circumstances and I would recommend it .[/QUOTE]

thanks ONW - but the actual problem he has is undoing his button and zip on his trousers and doing them up again when finished
and as another poster pointed out - there isn't a suitable aid to do that - it just seems strange to me that they accept he needs help to dress and undress but that needing that help to go to the toilet is being ignored and also that it doesn't constitute several time throughout the day

When my back is in spasm I cannot undo my trousers to pee as I am too busy hanging on to the wall supporting myself. Neither could I pee in a bottle. I need my wife to assist me.

A 'Couple' I would suggest is two
'Several' is more than three at the barest minimum.

kazzah60, could I ask if your son an adult or a child, and if the latter how old is he? The required standard for a younger child is higher because they are compared to a 'healthy/ normal' child of the same age.

You are the only person who has taken ONW's post as rude -

WRONG.
I was the only one that responded. That doesnt mean that others didnt think it was rude.
ONW's post was thoughtless but, having seen other posts by that person, quite normal by their standards.

This is a private forum - there is no such thing as free speech on here!

But you havent done too bad abusing others?

This doesn't help your original enquiry but drawstring and elastc waisted trousers can be much easier than the conventional kind.

Have you actually specified that he needs this help? If you've just said that he needs help getting undressed then that implies the full "clothes off, pyjamas on" activity that does only occur twice a day (well, morning is other way round). You need to specify that help with getting undressed extends to partial undressing for the toilet.

If you have then I'm sorry I can't help further.

There are some things here which may help - have you had an OT assessment, as they may be able to supply/ recommend useful adaptive tools?
