Thank you! We already have her wearing depends so we already reassure her it’s ok but she will not accept that. I have figured out with her it’s more of a fixation as someone else mentioned. I have found the timer helps a little but even more so keeping her mind on something else. When she is focused on a word search puzzle or doing something she goes a couple hours. I do like your term “disposable bedpan”, I will use your advice when she is in bed and not able to get up. Thank you!
