[epilepsy] Re: using the bathroom or shower



I think it's wise of you to leave the restroom door unlocked-- in case you
experience a seizure. I've been married 10 years to my husband
who has had the big 'e' all his life. A grown man needs privacy,
however, if your concern, or if it's a concern of your brother or his
wife--- why not consider a 'sign' system. Like maybe when you are
in there, perhaps hang a small--but noticeable sign (maybe it can be
bold red and can be hung on the door handle. Like a hotel's DO NOT
DISTURB sign). That way everyone will know you are in there.

The only issue would be consistency--- make sure you use the sign
all the time. :-)
