I Need Surgery – Now What?
Apr 13, 2015

A list of must haves, should haves, and might wants… 

 

Most of us have been there – preparing for surgery. For our chat on 4/20/15, let’s share what we’ve learned to help make it easier for someone else. Tips, products, questions to ask – nothing is off limits! There are some ingenious things out there to make surgical recovery so much more bearable. Drain holders, baby wipes (when you can’t shower), a recliner or extra pillows, electric razor for underarm shaving – the list goes on and on. Please share – from the practical to the extravagant!

 

A million thanks to AnneMarie Ciccarella for suggesting this chat topic!
