Hipster

Hippie girl, going through recovery, and life. Follow my journey of Spiritual growth and health.

Whenever I’m facing a surgery, I start to look for the funny, the useful, and equipment for rehabilitation. So here I will share some of my favourites. I officially have 1 week to go!!

First up is a T Shirt, as I usually buy one for the hip surgeries, perhaps I need this one to celebrate my hand surgeries Available here

For recovery I had extra pillows and a hip pillow which I used. But here are some good elevation, and resting pillows.

Wedge pillow here

I love how the above one looks more portable and easier to move from room to room.

I have some ice packs from Physio Room, but spotted this on a Basal Thumb Arthritis board, and it’s from Amazon

Available here

It’s very hard to ice with a cast or bandage on, this looks like it could wrap around and be more secure.

Perfect if you want to shower or have a bath.

This one looks a lot better and could be used if my hydro appointments continue.

Once you can start rehabbing the hand these look good, I have a variety of these already from last year.

One thing I definitely could do with is a way to pop out my pain tablets, though I think I’ll be asking Mr Moon mostly. Available here

Or pop them out prior to surgery and store in something like this Available here

I hope these help you guys while you are preparing for surgery, though remember you actually don’t need anything, as you can adapt things you already own for a new purpose.

    It’s great that there are so many gadgets/aids available. Also great to see you still have your sense of humour with the t-shirts! Best of luck xx
