Today, I was finally able to get up and take a shit after being bedridden due to my knee surgery. I had diarrhea and because I can't properly bend my knee, I can't wipe my butt. FML

Do you wipe your ass with your feet then? I usually use my hands, so I don't see why I'd need to bend my legs, but FYL anyway.

I don't see how you couldn't wipe your behind without bending your knee... I'm pretty sure if you just stand up and spread your legs you could do it.

OP, It can be done. Although it is awkward trying to sit on a toulet while you're half drugged out on percocet, your entire leg is in a brace. I had ACL reconstruction on my left knee feb 2010. Just remember it doesn't last forever

I don't see how your KNEE not bending effects your HAND. Fake!

I've also had knee surgery and a leg brace several times. You don't realise how handy your knees are in the whole peeing process til stuff like that happens! You need to support most of your weight on the non-injured knee, and possibly use the other hand. To people that say you have to bend your knees to sit - you can do it with a straight leg, or two straight legs. It's just more effort and requires more upper body strength when getting up.

That makes no sense. Anatomically and physiologically.

If you can't spare two seconds of your life, why are you on FML in the first place?

What does bending your knee have to do with wiping your butt? If you were able to sit on the toilet in the first place, I don't see why you need to bend your knee any further to wipe your backside. Otherwise, get a footstool or something in front of the toilet for you to put your bad leg on?

Since when do you need to bend your knees to wipe your ass? and seeing as how you have to sit on the toilet wouldn't your knees have to bend for that ? yeah
