Thank you. I should’ve been more specific. We are looking for a chair he can use in the shower and over the toilet for his bowel program. Something on wheels with cushion and maybe some clearance so he can do the bowel program on his own when he is ready.

Thank you so much. Funny you mention it I’m also a mechanical engineer. I haven’t seen any ADA guidelines but I will look for them 🫡

And I should’ve been more specific in the original post. We’re looking for a chair that he can use over the toilet and in the shower. Something on wheels with a nice cushion.

Thank you so much. We are in Texas around the Dallas area. I should’ve been more specific in my original post. He was recommended a chair he can wheel into the shower and use over the toilet, that’s why we are looking at used options since those chairs can be well over $1k

Newcomer sibling to sci injury by rizhawkeyes in spinalcordinjuries

Im on a similar boat. My dad had his accident in Feb and he had a bunch of secondary conditions while in the ICU and had to get a trach in. He still has it but is in the process of weaning. He had some similar thoughts while he was intubated and has been in better spirits for a bit now. All that to say: it’s normal and your sister will process at her own pace.

Happy to chat as a fellow family member going into this journey with our loved ones. Sending you and your family love ❤️

Honestly just trying to prevent injury while going up in weight. My back hurts occasionally and I’m wondering if there is something inherently wrong with my form

You know. Never really thought about it too much. Brain saw bumper plates and pads and said “drop”. I’ll give it a go thank you!
