@Carol Anna I had to laugh at what you call a small success!! That is huge!! I remember my first three days post op when I was trying to figure out how to get up off the potty. I have a high toilet but no bars and it was quite the dilemma.
Personally I think ALL public toilets should be high with bars. I have been in some stalls that my somewhat large body could hardly fit in especially when I hung my bag in the door hook.
Congrats!
