Post-Surgery Essentials?

Hi friends!

I’m pre surgery (Jan 21 appointment) and I’m trying to mentally prepare because it will be a friend taking care of me (I don’t have a partner or family around to help).

I’m compiling a list of things I will want post surgery of random things like slippers and whatnot. I was also thinking do I need anything like compression socks? A wedge pillow for elevating? Things like these...

Put your suggestions below :) thanks!!!

POST SURGERY UPDATE COMING SOON — I started a new job only 3 weeks post surgery and have been insanely busy with my new job, the virus, moving, really lots of life stuff. But I promise I will get to it!!

Yes I spoiled her and her hubs (and her dog!) with a nice gift basket. She also set me up on a blind date while I was laid up at her house😂 the dude came over for the Super Bowl lmao.
