Raised Toilet Seats??

[CHRIS WBS]

Janet,

Since you are having a long fusion to the pelvis, a raised toilet seat with handles is a must. I don’t think I could have gotten along without mine. I purchased one from a medical supply store before my surgery but never used it since the hospital supplied me with one which was covered by insurance. It did not have handles though. But my toilet is next to my tub and I would grab on to my tub bar to raise myself. I purchased this from QVC to put on my tub and it has been invaluable. http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/v...versal-Tub-Bar I still have it on as a safety precaution when getting out of the tub. I never did have difficulty with hygiene so did not require any toileting aids.

Sorry if I am being slow...but what is the dog collar for?

For walking the dog.

I dont know, what else would you use it for? Some use it for training.

My surgeon was adamant about walking outside. I guess he doesn't like treadmills. It has to do with the clean air. The air can get stagnant in your house and should be aired out. This is especially true with Radon.

Well, stale air won't kill you; Radon certainly might.

I don't have a dog, but I've always had the dog collar. My PT girl would come over and I would calm down once leashed.

Maybe there is an apt Benny Hill clip to illustrate this concept?

Hope you are feeling better, Ti Ed.

Radon is prevalent in granitic areas like the Sierras out here. Its naturally occurring Uranium that seeps up through buildings. I don't think it can kill you.

No Vids,I mean we could hit the pinnacle of comedy by expanding on the word "training" but I have not been doing well. Vomiting often, after eating and losing weight.Yesterday was a tough day. Clear liquid diet,water,yogurt etc. I have my appt on Thurs.

Thank you for your concern
Ed

Source rocks For Rn are not limited to granitic terrain AFAIK.

Also, Rn can and does kill folks...

radon kills

"Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, according to EPA estimates. Overall, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer."

He He He. Flt, Its ok, Sometimes these thoughts of "an actual real application" happen when you get older.

Everyone is thinking "no way,not me?"

Raised toilet seat? No, you're always supposed to put it down after. My wife got so mad after she took a dunk one night...

As far as toilets go... I redid our master bath a couple years ago and added an AMA toilet. Its a few inches higher than regular toilets and its much much better. Far easier to get up and down with.

Ed--
I hope your appt. on Thursday gives you some answers that can easily "fix" your problems. These symptoms sound like a real bummer to say the least. We need you strong and healthy! Janet
