hey Sally. When I broke my toes and had to wear a cumbersome cast, trying to make the nightly bathroom break was difficult. So this is what I did...

On the carpet next to my bedside I placed a bathmat, the type with a rubber nonslip bottom. My thought was that if there was any leakage, it was on a washable item that I could wash.

My walker was also positioned in a key spot at my bedside so that when I stood up, I used it for balance.

I bought paper Depends. Poise pads can shift and I wanted a more secure item. I stood up and peed into the Depends. It worked better than I expected, no leaks really.

On my nightstand I had a scissors to cut it off on the sides so that the wet diaper did not have to be pulled down my legs and get any urine on them as I had finished.

I also had a small wastebasket with a plastic bag inside and dropped my used diaper into it.

I used moist towelettes to clean myself properly and those went into the wastebasket.

A small hand towel was also within reach and I would put it on the bed so that I could sit down and not have my wet posterior on my clean bed. Another diaper was also handy and I would put it on.

Peeing into a diaper while standing was a mental thing but it all worked with everything set up and ready for me to do my business, be clean and get back into bed.

I hope I was clear in what I did. I felt clean. I hope this helps.

Sally, what happened was a bad thing but it is not about the bad thing, it is about solving the problem and moving forward.
