One more thing that may not apply to you.

As I got fat, I began to understand those toilet seat extensions and
even more the extra-high toilets. There are such things, right?

But later I noticed that the problem was trying to lower myself straight
to the seat, getting my center of gravity not over my feet, and then
falling backwards. So now I lower myself straight down, which even fat
I can do, and when I'm low enough I rock back to being over the seat.

It works fine. No need for a special toilet, unless something
unforeseen happens.


The Water Closet has a grab bar on either side to help. We also have
the "comfort height" toilets to make it easier. Old knees don't work as
well.
