It does suck. Luckily for me, I only had to be pot-lifted twice. The 'morning after' I woke up in hospital not remembering there was anything amiss and managed to get myself, the IV cart et al to the toilet. I did bounce off of anything in the 10 feet or so between my bed and the toilet and almost fell off the seat, but taking oneself to the loo was, as I thought, 'anything an adult ought to be able to do.' Oh, the ways we learn humility! I feel for you.
