Hi All,
We have hospital discharge plan and case review mtg for MIL tomorrow, and one of our (and her) major concerns is how she will manage overnight without being able to get up to toilet unaided. When we saw her yesterday, she said she had been chatting with Ward Sister who said there was "something she could wear at night meaning she wouldn't have to get up". I am not aware of anything other than pads for herself and her bed, but she seemed to think it was a catheter type thing or other device that she would be able to manage herself, once carers had done their nighttime visit, and see her through until morning. Just wondering if anyone is aware what this might be? Obviously we will find out more tomorrow, but wanted to do a little research in advance, and even Google is not throwing up anything other than pads and incontinence pants and she has already expressed her horror at the thought of just lying there and letting it all go ... any suggestions appreciated, thanks
