*embarrassing content** incontinence pads...
Posted , 14 users are following.
Okay, so after my last operation and the endless waking my husband and shuffling off to the loo I wondered whether anyone made use of pads?
I will be on my own for one or two nights, and wondered if this is a solution. I suffer from very low blood pressure post surgery and fainted in the loo and various other places the firs time. I am not sure I trust myself to get there and back safely.
I appreciate this is a very embarrassing question, but we have had worse on here!!!
Love and joy to all,
Rose
PS Can anyone tell me where Renee is?

Ah bless you, my first 3 weeks at home was a dash to the loo in the night 3 times every night and with all the extra swelling it's like life and death to get to the seat in time, I didn't always make it to the seat but to the bathroom door after some obstacles such as my dog and being half asleep and in pain. Do what makes you feel better because it's a major op and quite honestly no one should care, gotta do what you gotta do!!

Hi 🌹 as someone else said whatever is manageable, I did buy a lady bottle when I fractured my hip and couldn't have managed without it, I could only stand and couldn't walk and with out it their would have been lots of ooops moments, better than wet feet LOL

Pads or incontinence pants are a great idea to make you feel less stressed about getting to the bathroom on time. For both of my hip surgeries I also had very low blood pressure. There was no walking around the ward for me! I was lucky to get to the bathroom and back to bed, and it was in the same room as my bed. I even had a commode next to my bed for the first day or two while at the hospital.
You need to be very careful when moving around, most especially if you are alone. Do whatever works for you.
Renee moved on in her recovery, and retired from the forum.

Renee decided she was OK enough to do without the forum, and left to get on with her life - no doubt helping lots of other people being such a wonderful person.
