Help with wording
UK peeps, a question on wording (that I'm too embarrassed about to post over at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
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!

no subject
(aka I haven't decided yet so have avoided mentioning what happened to make him that way other than alluding to it in broad strokes)
