Marytea, My dear wife Sharyn had issues with constipation and we used suppositories for that. She never had "loose" bowel movements, quite the opposite. She did wear depends which we changed throughout the day. Mobility into the bathroom or even onto a mobile toilet became impossible near the last 6 months. Sounds like you are doing pretty good having attended the wedding. Stay strong. We are here for you. Jimbo

That's good you have got some help with personal care Marytea, it sounds like that will really help you. It will take a bit of getting used to at first, but you will be so glad you got the help. My friend has had a permanent catheter for the last year, but has recently gone the same way with his bowels. Having the extra personal care really has helped him a lot to still feel like himself. Keeping his dignity in tact is very important I feel, and so getting the appropriate extra caring when you need it will help to preserve that.
