How does a disabled <span title="person..........................................?">person......................</span>

Question

use the restroom? Specifically a person with no lower half. So this person has a head, arms and a torso. Just wondering, since we all must excrete waste.

Answer 1

hunky monkey has a good answer

Answer 2

Exactly the same as you do!

It is only a difficult life for disabled people, due to patronising attitudes! We don&#039;t ask about how you do personal things - so dont ask us!

Answer 3

I would think if the pieces were missing through accident or something surgery would improvise to an extent.

Life wouldn&#039;t be so bad, im not saying brilliant, but i have been paralized for several months, and lucky to recover. I think life may be easier with out them if they didn&#039;t work.

Just my opinion.

Answer 4

you can half body parts that may exist that many not look exist to the untrained eye. second there are bags for such wasted that are attached to a body and  can be emptieid later. there are catheters as well.

see colestomy bag.  

Answer 5

how the h**l do you think. on the disabled stalls they have rails on the walls. are you in first grade?

Answer 6

They probably have a colostomy bag. It is attached to the abdomen. The large intestine is opened up and diverted through the wall of the abdomen and means the fecal waste goes out into the bag. You just change the bag. They can have a similar thing called a urostomy for urine - here, there may be a bag but sometimes a catheter can be inserted, which is a tube and will make urine pour out into the toilet if the bladder is available. Activated charcoal can be used as a filter to avoid the unpleasant smell for the colostomy.

For urine, there is a surgical procedure called a continent urinary diversion (actually there are many types depending on the condition of the lower organs). One type, is where the urine is diverted from the bladder or ureters into the large intestine. Here it mixes in with the f***s and forms a &#039;puree&#039; for want of better words! I suppose you could combine this with the colostomy and just have one bag.

Answer 7

this is a legitimate question but not for this forum it is best if you google the answer

and to the first POSTER ..i don&#039;t think this person meant any disrespect i think they were just wondering  

Answer 8

You might find some informative discussions here: http://www.apparelyzed.com/forums/lofive...

It&#039;s a forum for paraplegics and quadraplegics to talk about life in general, and this specific link is to the section on bladders and bowels.

This really isn&#039;t a topic to be discussed in detail here...but you might search for &quot;catheter,&quot; I believe that&#039;ll help you.

Hope that link helps answer your question.

Answer 9

They use the support bars to swing their body around.

Answer 10

It is possible for such a person to survive due to modern medical technology.

Answer 11

So as long as the person have a torso I would see no problem...He just don&#039;t have legs and feet.....

Answer 12

if they did not have teh necessary anatomy when they were born or if it is as a result of an injury--they can be &#039;rewired&#039;

If need be they have a hole in their stomach area with a bag attached to it----a route for teh urine can also be made trhoguh teh stomach if need be----
