Hi there,
I recently discovered this forum whilst researching info. First of all let me thank you for all your wonderful advice, it really is a great help to all of us who are having to deal with our loves ones and do not know how or what is the best way to do so.

I would like to ask anybody advice on what is available for patients who have not control of their bowel movements. I have been researching the internet and found some type of fecal disposable bags but do'nt know which brand or type would be the best to use. Are there any special outlets where this can be purchased from?.

My sister substained the injury 1 month ago (T2) and at the moment she cannot move the lower part of her body. We know is early days yet to determine if functions would come back and that it is a matter of time. But I know I will try anything I can do to help to give her a better quality of life so she can concentrate and focus more on the recovery.

Any advice will be appreciated.
Thank you all
xx

Wanted to say hi Betty and welcome to the board!
Pray the site helped you alot.
Come back with any questions you have.

Sisters have a special bond.
My sister remodeled a bldg next to her house.
Her husband's garage where he was a mechanic.
He passed away.
She got me out of a nursing home!
I love it here. We are together.
But we both have our privacy.

I know you'll be a blessing to your sister.
Praying for a speedy recovery.
Take care. God Bless y'all~
