Using the Toilet Properly after Posterior Total Hip Replacement

[@brucecook502]

Geese, I just had this surgery a few days ago and after watching this, I just realized I broke so many rules that I am shocked I did not end up with a problem. I have been careful to not put any stress in the area of my new prosthetics, at least I didn't feel like I was putting any stress on it but I was definitely doing many things you said not to do. Thanks for the video, at least I know to be careful about certain things now.

What you show is an ideal example, reality is completely different more difficult,or not possible

[@JK-vd9bh]

Correct, that’s what occupational therapist’s are trained to do…REAL life solutions 😊. This is a PT video.

[@carolschedler3832]

Thank you! This is very helpful. Especially knowing way ahead of surgery to gain strength to use the body in new ways. Very helpful! Please ignore the ugly comments from people who want to blame others for everything. I don’t think they are making any helpful videos to share. 😂

A couple years ago, I got a bidet toilet seat and it has been a life changer. another alternative to toilet paper is to go straight from the toilet to your shower, although that probably is not very hygienic

[@ClearHeatVision]

you cant shower after hip surgery for a few weeks

[@lindamarsh6711]

And if you are having difficulty wiping your bum from the back because of shorter arms, what do you do?

[@Mediclady8]

I am installing a bidet. That should take care of most issues.,

[@carolschedler3832]

You can also stand to wipe.

Seems impossible not to bend

What if your elbows are deformed from rheumatoid. I can’t reach around. Too weak to pull myself up.

Thank you

Easier said than done.

[@MyFungal]

They make it hard to wipe with these risers

[@nuschlerclark895]

I need a video showing me how to remove my pants and underwear, THEN showing me how to pull up both with weight transfer!

[@slueepy1232]

WHY DIDN'T I GET THIS ON DISCHARGE!?!?!?!?!?;?

[@sherrid5315]

I researched it way before my surgery. Threw x me out of hospital same day. They do not tell you everything sadly.

[@rocketman4499]

What about the flood from using a roll of TP after flushing? My heavens!

[@TheEmmochka]

It's impossible for me to do Right 😂😢

[@bertie7771]

This is 10 times as much toilet paper as is necessary. Don't waste the planet's resources.

Not possible to follow la

You wipe from the back to front no wonder UTI's are so common!!!

[@artnc4139]

You make a good point as the person demonstrating this is a man. Women have to be much more careful to not carry fecal matter toward their urethra in the front

[@kenwitherell5750]

No matter which technique you use, the goal is to be finished (clean) before you stop! The UTI myth is an old wives tail, and you are a simpleton for believing it.

[@bigbadaboomboom]

You don't keep a straight back while craping. You're meant to bend.ylur back slightly. Look at the tribal rainforest people. They squat no hemorrhoids or problems

[@artnc4139]

But they don’t get total hip replacement surgery
