Preparing for Surgery - Quote_Queen_67
Quote_Queen_67 OK, so I now have a date for surgery - 20th March, which is soon. Feeling good that it's sooner rather than later but apprehensive too. Realising I won't feel the same when I come out...
Load ebooks/ e audiobooks on your tablets available thru your local library.I enjoyed listening to Bruce Springsteen read his autobiography even though I’m not a huge fan.I like music so my kids loaded 1000 songs on my mobile phone.Take ear plugs though.
Also the little pillow that you wear like a shoulder bag that the nurse should give you is wonderful to keep pressure of your arm off the wound.
Re bras I wish someone told me about ah bras/ sports bras .I bought a post op bra from Target - no wire is important- and you should be offered a free Berlei post op bra..The ah/ sports bras I still wear 2 years later as so comfortable.They are cheap to buy and are available KMart , Target , Best and Less etc
If constipation is an issue possibly due to the analgesics they will give you try Movicol sachets from the Chemist- they are very gentle and effective.
