Anyone else with this problem? What have you tried?

I am just home from open RNY and found it damn near impossible to get off on and off the toilet at home. My house is vacated and on the market to sell, but at my house I had a counter next to the toilet in the guest bathroom. In my mother's 1970s home (where I am recovering) all 3 bathrooms have no counter or anything next to them to lean on for support. My brother is in the bathroom now trying to rig-up a pulley system for me to hold on to ropes strung through hooks bolted to studs for me to lift myself up using arm strength instead of horrible pressure on incision site. Has anyone else had to do something to address this? If so, what did you do???
