katie @fyrqueen - don't feel bad ! My BH is after me to retrieve my Great Gram's bedpans (3) from the attic & try to identify them. Great Gram was partially bedridden & used an very ornate British (I think) porcelain pan that was attached to a chair beside her bed. I remember that bed vividly because I had to help dismantle it after Gramps passed. Hand hewn oak side boards & hand turned head & foot boards with rope supports. Mattress was stuffed with straw & topped with a down-stuffed pad. I wish now that I had that old bed. I believe it came up from W. Va. as a gift from Great Gram's father - my great great grandfather.
