drain and dressing yourself - what to wear?
Hi all. silly (ish) question, I have now got my surgery date for the second round of cancer 2.0 this time ill be coming home with a drain, I didn't have one last time on my 1st surgery, is it best ...
@Maree72,
I was stuck at the hospital for 3 nights, had two painful drains( one for lumpectomy and one for lymph nodes). I did pack front buttons PJ and guess what, I didn’t bother to change into them as I found those hospital gowns more convenient (the ones which tie at the back). My hospital provides clean ones every day for me to change into.
My BC nurse also gave me a sling bag to put my drains while I walked around. This comes together with the Zonta breast care cushions.
