The purpose of the commode with knee patients isn't just to have it at

bedside.it's easier to get down/up on/from it with the handles and it being

raised over the regular commode.

You won't know what you'll need until at least a day or so after the

operation. The 3/1 commode is the only one insurance usually covers. I

declined it as I seldom got up to use the bathroom after bedtime. And I

could walk the distance at the hospital. Didn't need it. You may not either.

But you sound well prepared and it's good to pay attention. Bud, my standard

poodle, appreciates your post. It reminded me it was time for his dinner!

All the best for you.
