Any ideas on a solution to this problem?

What about adding an elevated toilet seat to reduce the distance and a toilet safety frame to hold rather than the walker?

Well, this is not minor for you and for him right now, is it? So I hope you get good answers from experienced people!

My husband sat down every time. Problem solved. Wouldn't your husband be able to learn how to avoid spraying?

At night my husband used a simple urinal bottle from the drug store. That avoids the poor aim problem.

Dear ncarmac,

I know this is not easy. I was wondering if installing grab bars on either side of the toilet will help your husband with his balance instead of using his walker. My other suggestion is using a Depends product for men. Its more like an underwear style now so even if your husband can't make it to the toilet, there is backup in place.

I don't understand why sitting isn't an option. He must sit when he does the other, so why not when he urinates? This would cut down on the problem you're having. Have you also considered a portable urinal?

I dealt with this problem for many years, and we had a carpeted bathroom! You don't say why hubby cannot sit; if it's a matter of mobility or, as in my husband's case, a matter of "male pride". Unfortunately, when things like this start to happen, it requires concessions from both parties. Do some online research for toileting aids (usually called "Durable medical equipment") to see what may help your husband in his current situation. If he is not able to physically turn and sit on the toilet, perhaps a portable toilet bench you could place behind him might help. This could even be kept in the same room where he spends most of his time which would eliminate the walk to the bathroom and the urgency which could cause his lack of aim and control. Another option is having him stand, holding onto the walker and holding a urinal for him, which is what I did. My hubby also wears what my grandsons call "easy pants", like sweatpants, which don't require unbuttoning, belts and zippers. Good luck to you. I understand how you feel.

If you can explain to him without him losing his dignity to let someone help him when he needs to urinate using a urinal, that may help. That's what we did when I worked in a nursing home over 50 years ago.

I had purchased a set of "arm rests" that I attached to the toilet. This was like grab bars but when sitting you were able to sort of boos yourself up.
The toilets in the house are ADA height so these arms were about the height of a walker so it did make it easier for a while. You could try that.
If you do not have an ADA height toilet it might not work.
You could have full grab bars installed that go on either side of the toilet but depending on your husbands condition they may not be used long.
If it is just a mobility problem that might be a long term solution but if it is a form of Dementia then your "minor problem" will be "resolved" when the next decline comes and he can not manage the bathroom at all.

As for right now another thing you could try....
Go to a resale store get an inexpensive walker. NO wheels.
Place the walker over/around the toilet.
When he uses the toilet he can let go of one walker and grab the other.
I used this type of arrangement before I got the safety bar that attached to the toilet.

Get him a urinal---he can either stand up or keep sitting, put this penis right into the bottle & urinate. Then all you have to do is empty the bottle---no sprays, no constant cleaning.

Buy 2 urinals, so you can keep them clean easier. Once a day, rinse the urinal with warm soapy water.
Since your husband is used to having you accompany him to the bathroom, problem solved!
He holds onto the walker with BOTH hands, YOU hold the urinal in place with BOTH hands, one on his penis, the other hand holds the urinal. No spray no mess.

that is rough well i know this might be mean but if he had to clean up after his self maybe he will figure it out on his own what to do ..no matter if i am angry out of control even i always find the solution even while i am angry in a split second i got the solution ..well can he go in the basement ?? you might have a urinal installed in the basement if you have one or if lucky got a big enough bathroom install one there then he can hang on while going that way or have bars installed ..or how bout having someone install a kinda sling or something he can wear that would support him from the ceiling like those triangles on hospital beds but from the ceiling you can have 2x4 in the attic to hook up to support the weight over the joist i guess you call them ..then when you dont need it any more just take it down & cover with plaster & paint .. it could be a strap or anything that would hold so well good luck
