ouch and ouch.
i spent 5 days in the hospital when i was 7. broke my left arm (bone sticking out of crook of elbow) and had 2 surgeries, one to save my arm because teh circulation was cut off from the elbow down.
i wiped my own ass though.
one thing that will always stick in my mind.....i'm in the ER and they're prepping me for surgery. they cut my shirt off, put the gown on, and then the nurse, who was cute, went to take my pants off. i felt i should "warn" her, so i told her i wasn't wearing any underwear.
she smiled at me and said, "that's ok. sometimes, i don't wear any underwear either."
i will never forget the cute ER nurse saying that to me as long as i live.
