Help with wording

UK peeps, a question on wording (that I'm too embarrassed about to post over at  [livejournal.com profile] dw_britglish .)

For a US character I would say that, after receiving a a life-altering injury, a character is barely capable of going to the bathroom by himself.  Bathroom, in this case, would mean the ability to use the toilet and wash up and whatnot.

Would the UK wording be "use the w.c. (or is it WC) by himself" or simply toilet or lavatory or....?  Help!

You showed me the Jesusland one before- I'm apparently in the US of Canada! Which I'm oddly okay with!

The NY one's similar to what I was thinking, but that TX one is hysterical!
