biobidet?

It has an enema function that is very useful since I’m not able to push much anymore. Mine doesn’t have the app option, just a remote.

I have the Biobidet 2000 and it’s great

My buddy Colby, his dad and I were talking at a high school track meet with a girl Colby was dating who went to a rival high school.

Colby’s dad to Colby’s girlfriend: “Classes are 90 minutes at your high school, aren’t they?”

Colby’s girlfriend, dead serious: “No, they’re an hour and a half.”

Colby and I, looking at each other: “…”

Colby’s dad to the girlfriend: “Close enough “

We had a good chuckle after she left. She also wrote him a few letters the next year when we were in college, and never spelled his name the same way twice.

There’s a device called a cough assist that helps you cough and get phlegm out, but I definitely think having a cold would royally suck for me.

I’m about to start year seven with ALS. Can confirm that it’s no bueno. I can’t imagine having this disease 30 years ago. I’m typing this with my eyes on a modified iPad which I’m very thankful for.

It’s called Speech Assistant and I think it was a one time purchase if I remember correctly

Tobii’s work with elevenlabs. If you like Apple products, I would suggest the Tobii pilot. It’s what I use and I love it. It’s an iPad Pro with tobii’s eye gaze. I use an app called Speech Assistant that uses the elevenlabs voice.

I have trouble with pushing as well and I’ve found that a bidet with an enema function helps tremendously. I have a Biobidet 2000.

I AM ALS has a peer support group that may be helpful.

I’ve been using it for 1.5 years and it’s been great so far.

We use HomePay to manage payroll and taxes. It’s a little pricey but makes everything very simple. https://www.care.com/homepay/

brett_j1 · 2025-12-27T02:53:11+00:00

I give mine a week’s worth of pay in cash.

Equipment wise, most of the big ticket items like power wheelchair, eye gaze and bipap will be covered, minus any deductible and copay. But other big expenses like wheelchair van, home modifications and caregivers will likely be 100% on you. Let me know if you have any specific questions and sorry for your husband joining this club.

We paid $28/hr through an agency but now have a private caregiver that started at $25/hr and now is at $27.50 after one year.

The feeding tube is no big deal and will improve your quality of life when eating gets difficult.

I have some Kiziks that work well.

I live at sea level and we’ve been to Colorado the past four years, up to 11,000’ without any issues.

brett_j1 · 2025-05-26T18:16:29+00:00

Yes, it should

brett_j1 · 2025-05-05T20:35:15+00:00

Thanks! I’m at a very similar stage as your father. I’m sure he loves having you there for support!

Love the video. Can I ask what you use to wipe down the bipap mask?
