I kind of lost my modesty. Being walked in on when I was cathing, dropping little nuggets down a hallway, turning an entire bathroom brown, top it off with a 4 women vasectomy.
Being walked in on cathing is so normal for me now... My 4-year old son insists on not letting anyone have their privacy here, lol! I'm trying to get him to quit it, but what can ya do? *shrug*

I've had my fair share of embarrassing moments, I don't think anyone with a spinal cord injury can get away with it!

You can set boundaries! I can just hear him piping up in kindergarten about his mommy pees through a straw, or something like that...

The other day, I asked him if he wanted to be a nurse or doctor when he gets older and he said, "Maybe. I like nurse at hoppital." Such a cutie! I am glad that I had my accident while he was still so young. He doesn't see anything weird about the wheelchair like other toddlers. Yes, he notices that Mom doesn't walk like other people, but he claps, squeals, and jumps with joy whenever I stand up and when I "walk" a couple steps. I am so glad that my son will not see mobility aids as bad things, or disabled people as freaks. He just thinks it's awesome that if he doesn't want to walk in the store, he gets to ride on Mom's lap! I always tell my mom that I am a built-in stroller.
kjp77 I also wore jeans prior to my accident all the time. I actually do have 3 or 4 pairs of adapted jeans which I really like but I'm going to have to get more and I don't know from where since the person I got these from no longer sells them.
I'm still committed to finding a way to adapt my jeans. I used to live in jeans before.
Here's what I am trying, not sure if it will work ultimately. I didn't want to have to scrap all my jeans, but the way I sit in the chair is so different now and they don't fit the same way. Skin is also more sensitive (partly due to meds), and care for skin is top concern. First, I got a seam ripper and took off the back pockets. Can't get to them well anyway. Then, using a zig zag stitch (machine), I sewed a 2" piece of flannel over the thick inner seam from knee to knee, and also on the outer seam from waist to knee to avoid the abrasion of the tough, triple-stitched original seams. Lot of effort for my test pair, and I will report back whether it was worth it!
Don't forget to remove the metal rivets at the back particularly, we were shown photos in the spinal unit of someone with a neat pattern of tiny round burns from wearing them on a sunny day . . .
