>>15613179eh my dad used a commode for a bit but only because he got so fat his knees went out. This ended when we opened up the bathroom door up to 40" to fit him. Whole house smelled like shit because of it, do not recommend. He's only gotten fatter and it's caused his knees to go out completely so he can't bend them all the way or even walk correctly, so at 45 he uses a walker. Most of his shopping is now delivery but he still has a job even though he had a hard time climbing into his SUV. He is trying to get his boss to buy him a step stool and a designed parking spot so he can easily get in at work. He rebuilds transmissions, so not a lot of heavy lifting since it's all on a stand.
He is also slightly incontinent, because most of his diet is fried food he has poor bowel control and wears an adult diaper. Only myself and a few other people at work (the ones who take out the trash, like smart people we dump our trash at work so we don't have to buy garbage pickup) know this though.
