Like I said, not Disney related, but hoping someone on the disabilities board can help me.
I am having hip surgery in 3 weeks and while I am still pretty mobile, my difficulties right now (and after surgery, I'm sure) is in getting up from a sitting position.
Wouldn't be as big a problem if my commode was close to a wall or something sturdy to put in a handicap bar thingy like in handicap restrooms but it is not. I have been looking online at different items (and there are alot of them) and it is hard to know what will work best. There are frames that fit around the toilet kinda like a walker that you can use to grip to assist in standing and others that have seat risers and arms that are hooked onto them.
If anyone has a particular product or brand I would appreciate the info. And any other tips for hip replacement recovery.
Thanks
