maybe there IS a way to shave your legs....

I was struggling this morning, with my limited range of motion, thinking about you ladies who have already had surgery. I was thinking, maybe you can duct tape a disposable razor onto a pole...ha ha...then I remembered my picker-upper. I grabbed it, stuck a disposable razor in it, locked it in...and ladies, IT CAN BE DONE!! You can sit with your legs straight out, or stand and bend slightly enough to see your legs, and it works. You need a picker-upper that will grip well and lock well. Ya know, there's also always the nair products. If you can get someone to apply it for you, before you get into the shower. Good luck, I'll be in the same boat in 7 weeks. God Bless, Connie

That's an interesting idea. As long as you could control it well enough not to slice up your legs! I'm not sure I'd trust myself with it! Maybe your suggestion will help some of the "hipsters."

I would rather spend the time increasing my ROM....
Post Op day nine: have had 3 tub baths with about 3 inches of water. Lay in the tub with leg straight up in the air and REACH. Not a problem... my physical therapist was thankful when he did his deep tissue massage for edema...didn't scrape up his hands on my stubble!

Hips and knees may have different rules.
