The Info Going to the Bathroom at Night | Health News
A friend who trains people to care for the elderly who live at home told me many of the falls her staff see happen when elderly people go to the bathroom at night. To keep me safe my OT suggested that I use a bedside commode at night. Since I live alone I think it would be dangerous for me to drag the bucket to the toilet to empty it in the morning. My close call came when I fell in the bathroom a few days after I got home from rehab. The big toe on my hemiplegic foot is crooked because I tore ligaments. I cannot push off with this toe when I walk so other muscles have to work harder forever.
Thank goodness I learned how to go to the bathroom safely at night when I'm not wearing my brace. After my 2nd stroke I went home with a walker and discovered it made me feel much safer than a cane. I progressed to walking with a quad cane during the day, but I still used the walker in the bathroom at night. I didn't mind that the walker slowed me down because I was half awake when I got up at night anyway. When I progressed to a single point cane during the day I used the quad cane at night in the bathroom. I currently use a light single point cane during the day that I bought at a medical supply store. This lighter cane is less tiring to carry when I walk in the community. However, I use a heavier single point cane my PT ordered for me because it makes me feel safer in the bathroom at night. I keep that heavier cane next to my bed so it is within reach as soon as I sit up on the edge of the bed.
Bottom Line: I keep every walking aid I buy so I can use the more conservative device at night. I don't want to have an injury that would send me back to a wheelchair. Pushing a wheelchair with one arm and one leg on linoleum in wide halls in the hospital is hard. I don't want to find out how hard it is to push a wheelchair on carpeting in my home. I don't resent walking aids that keep me safe. I don't want to end up in a long-term care facility because a fall does something much worse than break a big toe.
