I have had my wife do it many times, but that isn't the same as having a pro. caregiver do it. In Jan 15 I got very sick, almost died. Between the hospital and the PT Rehab I was in for 8 weeks. The hospital had a cath in me and used a bedpan. But when I got to rehab one of the first things they did was put a diaper on me, not that I cared I have been in diapers since the mid 90's'. But just the fact that I had someone come a check my diaper every few hours, or more if I needed changed. They would change me before it was time to go to sleep, again sometime during the night and again when I woke up. then at lunch and dinner and in the afternoon if i needed it, so it was around ever 4 hours.
