endometriosis excision surgery | my must haves
things I used and don't know what i'd do without this past excision surgery
pain relief/ comfort
I've been spoiled with the moist heat and i'll never go back
there's magic in here I swear… code “endometriosisem” for 10% off
this smell is giving big red cinnamon stick vibes and it actually gives a warming affect
i've been using healing rose from the start
for back, hip, leg, shoulder, neck & all of the pains except I don't usually use on my abdomen
clothes
comfort is KEY
THESE are it… buttery soft and the perfect placement for my incisions
the softest and most breathable pants I own. this brand gets it
this isn't the exact one I have because I've had mine for forever but they're still so similar
so comfy & the waistband is adjustable. I recommend a size up
what I wore to the hospital on the day of surgery
mobility aids
the folding cane is a game changer because I can just throw it in my bag when I'm not using it
so helpful for lower toilets. the handles are also helpful to keep you steady and get on and off the toilet
showering is always SUCH a task. Especially when you're healing from surgery. I ended up using my bedside commode in the shower but it got rusty so I recommend getting one of these. I prefer having a back & handles for support but you can find sm...
I actually borrowed my grammy's rollator while healing from surgery but I got myself this one recently at Walgreens
when you're moving around the house/ on the go
hands down the best portable heating pad ever. definitely my most worn device code: “emma” for 15% off
portable heat meets TENS technology…and theres no replacement pads… this is not a drill.. code: “Emma” for 15% off
my favorite TENS machine code:"EMAX10"
this is new to me and it's a new fav for SURE
stretching
I use these every day for my back pain
the yoga mat i'm currently using
toiletries
durable & none of the bad stuff- I needed these the days following surgery and LOTS for my extra heavy post op period
I use these in the br, for my makeup and for when you need a quick freshen up in bed
this is hands down my favorite deodorant ever. clean ingredients, smells soooo good and does its job all day long
ambiance
flowers make my soul happy & lift the vibes of the environment where you're healing (hint hint at your friends and family)
we spend so much time in bed so why not make it an enjoyable place to be? mood lighting makes a HUGE difference in the space and my mood
my sissy made these and I love them so much!
entertainment
if you haven't read this, I HIGHLY recommend
if you live in the U.S. you should be able to stream this from PBS if you're a member
watch shows with friends with teleparty:) this made long-distance binging more enjoyable
extras
this was SO convenient as a bedside table that could slide in and out
use it in the house, in your car, when you're in public, honestly anytime you're sitting upright
any water bottle with a STRAW
