    Geese, I just had this surgery a few days ago and after watching this, I just realized I broke so many rules that I am shocked I did not end up with a problem. I have been careful to not put any stress in the area of my new prosthetics, at least I didn't feel like I was putting any stress on it but I was definitely doing many things you said not to do. Thanks for the video, at least I know to be careful about certain things now.

      Correct, that’s what occupational therapist’s are trained to do…REAL life solutions 😊. This is a PT video.

    And if you are having difficulty wiping your bum from the back because of shorter arms, what do you do?

    Thank you! This is very helpful. Especially knowing way ahead of surgery to gain strength to use the body in new ways. Very helpful! Please ignore the ugly comments from people who want to blame others for everything. I don’t think they are making any helpful videos to share. 😂

    A couple years ago, I got a bidet toilet seat and it has been a life changer. another alternative to toilet paper is to go straight from the toilet to your shower, although that probably is not very hygienic

    You don't keep a straight back while craping. You're meant to bend.ylur back slightly. Look at the tribal rainforest people. They squat no hemorrhoids or problems

      No matter which technique you use, the goal is to be finished (clean) before you stop! The UTI myth is an old wives tail, and you are a simpleton for believing it.
