Helpful hint for new postops

One of the things that I came up with that has helped me immensely is a simple set of salad tongs. I was so sore in the hospital and couldn't reach "necessary parts" to clean or wipe them. I asked my girlfriend to pick me up a set of salad tongs and used some of those cleansing cloths to take care of "bathroom time". It made me feel a lot better to not have to ask for assistance for that chore. An extra set of tongs to pick up things you drop or may need from lower spots is a good idea too. I know it sounds crazy but it worked for me so I thought I would share. Dannielle
