@esther.cooke: I CANNOT EMPHASISE ENOUGH how thankful I was for mine, my top knee surgery essential!!! as someone who has been left stranded on a toilet and stuck having to ask for help to get off the loo before, having this gave me a little sense of independence and the knowledge I wouldnt get stuck on the loo! you will really underestimate how tired and in pain you will be, going to the loo is pretty equal to a full on work out, especially if you are non weight bearing on crutches!! And I say all of this as someone that is fully able to do a single legged pistol squat! Also if you are having a surgery that requires you to be in a locked brace like me... get yourself a small stool to prop your leg/foot for when your on the toilet #kneepain #kneesurgery #kneesurgeryrecovery #mpflreconstruction #tibialtubercleosteotomy
Hey! Been following you for while. I’m due in for my second MPFL and osteotomy in 2 weeks. Where can I get one of these ?

Ugh the tub is literally in front of my toilet. I'm going to have to sit sideways after my surgery next month

Just got my first MPFL and TTO on Thursday (I have to get the other one eventually). The raised seat has saved me. I use a walker to get there 😭

Absolutely the worst. Im only day 2 after surgery. I had surgery in the 11th. But, today was a little manageable just difficult

I wish I would have had that when I had my knee surgery with six weeks non weight bearing or bending on one leg. Everything became a dangerous event.
