My mother, who's also my best friend and hero, is undergoing a double masectomy this week.  Apart from the obvious help with housework and emotional support, I would love any advice about caring for her during the recovery.

I'm just looking for really basic stuff like - should I buy her front-opening nighties and blouses?  Basically anything at all that helped make someone else's recovery easier

We are lucky in that she will probably not require radium or chemotherapy.

.Cost is not an issue.
