Confined to barracks

13/06/2022

No public toilets offer wall-attached toilets at a height that doesn’t involve much pushing up and causing my 84-year old disabled wife pain. We feel that we are confined to barracks, and only ever manage to get out once a fortnight to do the shopping, and even then, we make sure we don't stay out long. My wife needs to go to the toilet at least once every hour, which makes long excursions almost impossible for us to undertake. It makes being disabled a punishment.
