Is it possible to use the toilet when lengthen with a non-weight bearing nail like precice? Are we suppose to use a bedside commode?

I never used the bedside commode. Going number #1 is easy, you'd pee into a specialized bottle, then pour it into the toilet. Going #2, you'd transfer carefully from wheelchair to toilet, rest your foot on something elevated while seating, just to reduce the pressure against femurs (if lengthening femurs). To cleanup after #2, we have to thank the simple yet awesome invention from Japan.. the bidet! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08QHT9CTG This is the exact one I bought. You need to install it on the toilet before breaking your legs :D. I'm a clean freak when it comes to going #2, and this bidet satisfies my standard. Still using it now during consolidation.

1. I pee into a bottle.
2. for no.2 I have a commode wheelchair. I just move to it from my bed and my caretaker move it above the toilet. For the initial days, I used a bed pan.
