Today, I had knee surgery. I have to wear these lovely compression stockings, and going to the bathroom is really hard since I can't bend my knee at all. I ended up getting pee all over the stockings, but I can't take them off. FML

hey guys, OP here, and thank you all so much for the well-wishes. I forgot to log in before I posted the fml. I had a meniscus repair surgery, actually the second time I've had it done. I'm loving all your puns though. and to those saying to take the stockings off for a short time, my doctor wants me to keep them on until tomorrow, so I'll have had them on for a full two days. I'm not allowed to shower yet, seeing as my surgery was yesterday and he wants me to wait 48 hours.

Congrats, you're living in the black-and-white portion of the informercial from before the super handy product is introduced. My guess is it's some sort of piss-concentrating funnel.

I had to wear compression stockings because of a DVT. Baby powder helps a lot when putting them on. Best of luck, OP! I hope you can get a new pair.

I completely understand how that happened; so far, I've had 4 knee surgeries, the most recent being January of 2015. Since my last surgery was a major one, I was non weight bearing for 6 weeks. The very first day after surgery, I had to figure out how to go to the restroom without making a mess, too. Fortunately, now, I have a much easier time bending the knee.

I feel your pain so strongly! The same thing has recently happened to me but instead I had to use a bedpan because they didn't want me up on my leg and I accidentally dipped my sheets in pee :(

Your doctor doesn't research. There's not enough study behind compression stockings whether they are useful or not. I work on an orthopedic unit as a nurse and I work with stockings daily. You don't have to wear them. As long as you do leg/foot exercises you're golden

My dad has Factor 5 Leiden, which is a rare, but awful blood clotting disorder and he has to wear compression socks on both legs for the rest of his life, even though he's a postman and is constantly moving around. I'm pretty sure the doctors know what they're talking about...

I've always said that it's better to be pissed off than pissed on, looks like you accomplished both in one go.

Ok for real advice. Stand with either foot on the sides of the toilet and pull the lips apart so they're not in the way. You should get a straight stream into the toilet

I hope your recovery from the knee surgery is going well.
