I've been asking several questions on this forum and for some reason I forgot the most crucial one of all. How did you guys take a poop when you can't walk? I read that some people have attendants with them. But some of you guys lengthened alone. How did you do it?

I barely ate anything before the surgery and didn't go until a few days later when I was allowed to get up and move to the toilet by myself, specifically because I didn't want some poor nurse to have to get a bed pan for me. On days where it was too painful to step, I'd lower myself to the floor carefully, scoot backwards to the toilet, and lift myself onto it.

When was the first actual bath you took post-surgery? Do you just clean yourself with a cloth for months?

An attendant in the hospital would clean me with a cloth each morning (I insisted on wiping my genitals myself though). I continued cloth baths until the staples were removed from my tibia and fibula osteotomies, at which point I was allowed to shower and get the frames and pin sites wet. Actual baths where I could sit and soak in water didn't happen until after frame removal. Since you'll be doing internals, I think you'll be able to soak in a bath just as soon as any incision sites have closed up.

I had a handicap accessible bathroom and I just wheeled into the bathroom and used upper body strength to transfer on toilet.  Alternatively you could buy a portable toilet thing and just use that by your bed.  It stinks horrible though.

I used a wheelchair and hold onto things when moving from wheelchair to toilet. You can also move with your butt.

I did tibial lengthening so I honestly don't know how femur people did.
