Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) are life-altering events that affect millions of people worldwide. They result from damage to the spinal cord which disrupts the communication between the brain and the rest of the body. This can lead to varying degrees of motor, sensory and autonomic function loss below the level of injury often resulting in paralysis, chronic pain and other complications.
Caring for someone you love with Alzheimer’s can mean slowly adjusting to changes neither of you expected. Even something as familiar and private as using the bathroom can become more complicated over time.
Someone who once handled everything on their own may begin having trouble recognizing when they need to go, explaining what they need, or getting there in time. Urinary leakage can add another layer to an already personal part of the day, and for caregivers, it can also mean more laundry, more planning, interrupted sleep, and figuring out how to help without taking away the person’s dignity.
There isn’t one perfect way to handle it. What matters is finding a routine that feels comfortable and respectful for the person you’re caring for, while also making day-to-day care more manageable for you.
In many situations, QuickChange Wraps can obviate catheters, and eliminate the problems associated with them, including patient discomfort, urethral scarring, catheter acquired urinary tract infections, subsequent temporary or permanent incontinence and avoiding the federal documentation requirements for catheter use.
