Web WonderAll things web related plus a few surprises

my partner is going into hospital to have a hip replacement, he.s only 39.?

but i need to find out information on the height of the bed, toilet seat and chairs in the house, so that i can get them adapted before he leaves hospital, can anyone either tell me the heights or a web site that can help me.
he suffered from aplastic anemia, and this will be his 4th hip revision in 20yrs, he is 6ft 1inch, and st georges hospital has said that he needs to get a raised toilet seat, and also mmake sure our bed and sofa are a certain height, he already has a walking stick and crutches, but we need to get the stuff before surgery. so any shops or web sites that can help, by either hiring or buying the stuff.

I’ve had both hips replaced in separate surgeries.
The proper height for a chair is: the seat needs to be at least as high as the bend in his knees. Add a cushion if needed. I bought a boat cushion (“personal flotation device”) and used it wherever the seats weren’t high enough for me, including the car, restaurants, theaters, etc. They’re nice and firm and have a carrying handle.

Items such as raised seats for toilets, etc. are usually provided by the hospital (at least in the US).

To raise a bed that seems too low you can purchase bed risers from places like Bed Bath & Beyond. They come in sets of 4.

Other handy devices: dressing stick, long handled shoe horn, sock helper, reacher. These are the kinds of things that the hospital will probably provide and also will provide instruction in how to use them.

I also got a shower head on a hose so that I could shower seated. I used the commode that I rented as a shower chair instead of buying a separate chair for the shower. I also used the commode over the toilet (they are adjustable in height) without the bucket instead of buying a separate raised toilet seat. It came with 2 buckets: one without any bottom designed to be used over a toilet fixture.

Also: he should have at least one chair to sit in that has arms (he will need to be able to push himself up from the seated position). A good choice: a dining chair with arms (not a chair that swivels or has casters). Sofas are usually a bad choice for early post-op seating. Some people spend a lot of time in recliners (even sleep in them!) but the usual recommendation is that really soft, plushy furniture should be avoided for awhile. Also recliners that swivel and rock are not recommended.
