At bedtime we took stock and decided to go for it. 30 minutes later we despaired of trying to get me in a good position. We were laughing but not happy. I think we were both tired. Plan B we decided should be brought out..sleep downstairs(it was bad we don't want to turn the house into a hospital blah blah). On the way past the bathroom the new bowels noticed the bathroom. Pre-op bowels were creatures of habit, they have been replaced by Martini bowels ( I wont explain). Anyway twenty minutes later .......Dr Frank (fellow bad back sufferer) advocates the shower and Pat dry method. We have adapted this to the shower and Pat Mustard method. It involves a friend a headstand and a powerjet of water.
I was pleased to see similar methods employed in the Sefton suite. Hang from two coat pegs, assume the cross of St Andrews position and ...Jetwash.
