Great advice 🤓💗 I have a rechargeable electric hot water bottle (you can unplug it when using it) that can be super helpful for when you’re in hospital on your own. I prefer real hot water bottles, but great to have if that’s not an option! Also as a last resort if I’m in hosp and don’t have anything, usually you can find a member of staff who will fill up a blue plastic glove with hot water for the tap, as a make shift hot water bottle. Not the safest option and you have to be careful with it but good if you are desperate and waiting for pain meds to kick in! Re peeing I find sticking my hand under a running tap surprisingly helpful sometimes 🙂 Also if anyone is struggling to bend or clean themselves after abdominal surgery (particularly if quite a bit of blood coming out), peri bottles (also called portable bidets) are amazing! They’re also good for just helping you feel more clean if you’re in hosp and perhaps unable to shower but able to make it to the loo xx
@@sophieseger oh I see, so you put the heat on your shoulders not on the incision. I’m getting the surgery for the first time in 2 weeks so I found your tips helpful just wasn’t sure about this one. Thanks!

These are super helpful! Didnt know there was such a thing as an electric hottie! That’s amazing! Thank you for sharing these😘❤️
Thank you very much. This is very informative advice. I am on the 90days waitlist. I am preparing what to do and prepare before and after surgery.
Oh an additionally, how do you manage the keyhole scar? Please share.
Super informative!👍
Thank you ❤️
Thank you, this made me less anxious for my surgery!
Ahh that makes me so happy! I hope it goes well💖
thank you so much!!
Thank U sooooooo much
You kept the catheter for weeks?????
I’ve heard you should never put heat on a surgery incision after surgery. If you look it up it says to only do it 2 weeks later.
Yes! It’s great for gas pain though (in my experience) x
Which is on the shoulder/chest usually xx
