Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Dear friends, Yesterday I sent off the packet of xrays and info in anticipation of getting the telephone consultation with Dr. Amstutz at JRI. So now the waiting begins. I have a few rather dumb questions, and would appreciate any answers anyone could provide, especially the ladies who have had hip resurfacing done. First off, knowing that during the recovery stage, one has to keep the upper body and the legs at less than 90 degrees (70?), how in the world does one accomplish going to the toilet (on the raised, armed seat) when you can't lean back to accomplish the 90 degree rule? And, rather embarrassing, how does one wipe the offending body parts? Also, I know from another web site (bananarepublican) that wearing boxer shorts would be the most comfortable post-op, but what did you ladies wear? I can wear men's boxers around the house like pajama bottoms, but I doubt their comfort under clothing for when one has to go out into the world, even under loose-fitting sweat pants. I don't mean this to come off as obscene, asking about underwear, so I hope I don't offend anyone. Just curious. Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
