    As a follow-up to something I saw some time ago.
    How do you manage? For me this is my largest challenge. Currently (and
    fortunately), every day I try to do the bathroom drudgery first half of the
    day. I use a sit to stand lift, obviously with assistance, to get on and off
    the toilet. How do you manage? When? How? What you use (suppository)? Diet?
    Thanks for sharing.

    I get the dried fruit mix from my local SAMs . Lots of fiber and it encourages me to drink a lot of water. I don’t eat it everyday but some every now and then helps keep me regular.

    I can’t believe I’m only one with this challenge. Caregivers? Others? What do you do to manage this?

    I usually get their tropical trail mix, but they have a variety. I have problems with choking on very juicy fruits (dual consistency), so dried fruit helps in that regard too.s
