What should I prepare in the hotel room I'll be staying at so that I'm ready for situations where I'll be stuck in bed puking/defecating but can't get to the toilet easily?

Ex: how to place the object physically, what to do? what objects to get? Diaper? Barf bag?

Dr. Giotikas sends nurses to the hotel but I don't think they stay all night

Don't do precice unless you have 24 hour caretaker with you. If you are doing with Gnail then you can just get up and go to the toilet yourself.

Isn’t Gnail and Betzbone the same thing?

Ah. So in practice, precise users end up just puking/defecating in their bed and then calling the hotel staff for help? Just trying to envision how this works, I imagine not being able to walk will have certain problems and disabled people deal with all the time, just wondering

Initially, I did it on the bed itself using something called bedpan. Now, I have something called a commode chair. I move to it from bed and then my caretaker shifts the chair above the toilet and then I do it in the toilet.

Thanks!! So you hired a caretaker who was on 24 hour call and lived nearby?
