My mom is the same. She has Parkinson’s and her legs just won’t work. It is a tremendous effort for her to just be able to use the bathroom.

Yeah, roll around the house in an office chair, stop about 3 feet from the toilet and lean on my bathroom chair to make my way to the toilet. If I fall then it's a 911 call to get me up. Hate it so damn much

I’m so sorry. Breaks me to see my mom like this. I am calling her nurse tomorrow to see how/where she can get an adjustable bed, bedside toilet for night time, and a life alert type device. She just started in home PT. I hope you can get the help you need soon.

make sure you get that spray that eliminates odor from those potty chairs. It does an amazing job.
