Roho LTV?
Posted: Sun Jun 02, 2013 7:18 pm
Hi,
Does anyone have any experience with the Roho LTV? It is not as heavy-duty as the Roho wheelchair versions, but I thought I might try it for sitting at the office. Here is a link:
http://www.amazon.com/Roho-Cushion-remo ... at+cushion
I am 2 months post hip-scope, and that part of my recovery is going well. My pelvic floor overall has been doing much better and I hardly ever have pain on a day to day basis, thank God. It had even gotten to the point that I wasn't using a cushion when sitting. However, I started a new office job this week, and the 9-5pm sitting with no cushion was too much for my poor butt. I know I was foolhardy not to sit on a cushion, but I had actually improved s much, that bringing a cushion was not really a thought!
Anyway, I will sit less this week and sit on the cushion that I do own. I cannot afford the fancier Roho and I don't think my insurance company would cover it since I'm not in a wheelchair and have been off of crutches for a month. I just need something that is more comfortable to sit on at work. My employer is a non-profit and I am currently temporary so they will not purchase any chairs, etc. for me. I have a doughnut-type cushion, but I don't like the pressure on my sitbones especially. It doesn't help either that I am dealing with a small anal fissure from hemorrhoids. (eww) I think that particular ailment is probably related to the use of meds this year with my hip and appendix surgery....
All in all I am still on the upswing and hoping this is just a minor flare-up . Any cushion advice would be much appreciated.
With hope and hugs,
Jackie
