Hi, my surgery is next Wednesday, July 3rd. I have my extra long-handled wooden spoon and some Cottonelle moistened, flushable wipes already purchased from Wal-Mart. I'm hoping it does the trick cause my man says he doesn't love me enough to wipe my bum!!! Whaaaaaaa!!! Good Luck - Anna

I agree w/Anna - just be sure and look for the flushable kind. After surgery, it was the one time in my adult life that I had to allow myself to get a bit of help in wiping...I hated it. I had sterile gloves by the john though because I knew I couldn't turn - the liquid & soft diets didn't produce anything too horribly nasty but still - it's the whole thought of it and I wasn't thrilled with it. I tried the tongs thing with wipes wrapped around it but to be quite honest, it was just as difficult as before I went into to surgery - I never had the easiest time with cleaning and I hated that. Only 3 months out though and I can honestly say since about 1 month out, life is MUCH better and a lot easier - I'm reaching places I didn't even know were there. :) Good luck to you, Donna !!
