Post-Surgery Bathroom Accessory Suggestion
The best thing to have at home, for post-surgery use, is a toilet 'enhancer'. One of those things you attach under your toilet seat that brings up the height. Trying to stand up from a regular height toilet after surgery sucks (and you'll have to do it in the hospital). We had one in the house from when my mother stayed with us after her hysterectomy and it's a Godsend.
If you can afford one, or know where you can borrow, one, GET IT!

I'm not sure what a toilet 'enhancer' is, but I find that after surgery a raised toilet seat is a must. Also, if you can find the handrails, it makes it easier to get up. Just my 2 cents!

That's what I mean ... it raises the toilet seat about 4 inches.
