Horrid things commodes. Need emptying after each use really, which means help needed frequently. Or it can make the room smell horrid.
Daughter is just going home to make tea for her family so I popped out to see if all was OK. Turns out it's not a commode but an adjustable height toilet seat on it's own frame. The thinking is that it'll make it easier for her to get up. The worry now is that she might fall on her way to the bathroom. All sounds a bit unsatisfactory to me. I've told her to get "mum" to keep her mobile on her at all times and ring me if there's a problem. I don't have a key but I could alert both daughter and emergency services if needed. Sitting with fingers and toes crossed!
