how to wipe your butt...

Okay, it's been brought to my attention by a post-op that in order to wipe your butt after having an open surgery, tongs are needed. Since this was news to me, I thought I would let others know. I went to the www.wisdomking.com website (where you can also buy staple removers for skin sutures) and saw they had such "toilet aides." Now, I have no clue if you're allowed to take them on the plane with you, but for fear of having one of the more embarrassing conversations with security at the airport, I'm going to check my luggage.

I needed a laugh today and you sent it my way.......thank you!

I'm willing to bet that you will be!! But remember it's just one of the reasons we love you!!

Dang, wish I would have known that a month ago. Had the hardest time. These message boards are just packed full of useful information. Denise Howes Hood River, RNY 8-27-03
