I’m reluctant to mention it at the risk of TMI and it’s somewhat graphic nature, but... personal toilet hygiene.
When I was up to 245 lbs. I dreaded going to the bathroom anywhere but home, where I have a handheld shower head and can get in the shower. Contorting to reach back and around was a nightmare. It doesn’t help that I have two rods and four screws in my lumbar that reduces my flexibility to that of an iron bar.
I often went back to my desk fearing I was not entirely fresh. I lost 30 lbs. unintentionally... increased activity which has slowed to a crawl. I’m beginning to creep back up ... initial goal is 225-230 and take it from there... but I’m beginning to experience the same hygiene issue. I’m retired now and home most of the time, so it’s not a fear I’ll be at work less than completely fresh.
I don’t know what other people, who are even bigger, do to address the issue. Ideas, tips?
