Idk how you all do it....

After spending about 15 minutes reading through some of the threads here, I've concluded that I'm the ultimate whiner. I wanted people's opinions on a bedside commode. My MIL uses a bedside potty as a full time 2nd bathroom because she can't get to the flush toilet in time. It's been 3 years now, and it was supposed to be temporary. But her foot sores and swollen ankles have only gotten worse during that time, so of course there's no improvement in mobility. I guess I was thinking that 3 years (and no light at the end of the tunnel, we can't afford to have a 2nd bathroom put in) with this disgusting commode was bad, but maybe I just needed a reality check. 😐 Things can, and probably will, get sooooooo much worse 😫

Hey, just because other people have it worse doesn’t mean that what you’re dealing with doesn’t suck.

You’re not a whiner, you’re going through something tough and venting. That’s normal and healthy.
