ESSENTIALS
GLOVES
For all of those dressing changes or having to put on ointment!
COMPRESSION TANKS
You can wear these under your compression garment to keep your skin from getting irritated.
SKIN CLEANSER FOR NIGHT BEFORE SURGERY
I’ve been told this is the best stuff to use to cleanse your skin pre-op. You cannot use it afterwards I believe.
GRABBER
To help pick things up when you can’t bend over or they are out of arms reach.
NON SLIP COMFY SOCKS
If you’re anything like me, your feet are ALWAYS cold. You also won’t have the best balance after surgery, so the non-slip grip is a must!
ADJUSTABLE MEMORY FOAM NECK PILLOW
I LOVE that you can bend this upwards or any way you need!!
GAUZE
For ALL the places.
TOILET SEAT RISER
Because having to get down so low is going to suck for awhile!
WALKER
To help you walk in the beginning!
LANYARDS
To hold your drains up!
“HOSPITAL” TABLE
It can roll under the side of a bed or a recliner so you can eat or get on the computer easily!
BUTTON DOWN NIGHT GOWN
Because you won’t be able to raise your arms for a bit!
SHOWER WIPES
This varies for everyone, but most people aren’t allowed to shower for a few days. These are a good way to clean up!
DRY SHAMPOO
The best product ever invented!
WEDGE PILLOW (BACK)
This is to help keep you “crunched” when you’re unable to lay back flat.
WEDGE PILLOW (LEGS)
Your legs are going to need to be elevated to keep you “crunched”
ZIP UP BRAS
Putting your arms over your head to get a bra on will be tough for a little while. These are easier to get into!
