Hi friends - I've read so many of your stories here on RS and they have been extremely helpful to me as I get set for surgery in a few weeks (Sept 10). The way that the reviews are structured, though, makes it hard to pull out a consolidated list of things to have on hand and how to best manager the first ten days post-op. I wonder if you can help all of us who are approaching our surgery dates by sharing what you have found to be the most helpful in your recovery (supplies, techniques, treatments, medications, tips for showering, clothing choices, bandage items, etc). If ten things are too many, five is fine! Many thanks!! ~ Southern Swingers
