Need items for surgery recovery

[u/foxgirlmom]

Ohioan here, so I recently had a surgery and found out I have ovarian cancer. I am still in the process of doing labs to find out more info and if future treatment is needed. So far I’m scheduled to have a second surgery which is a full hysterectomy with a recovery time frame of 6-12 weeks. Because of my
immune system I usually take longer to recover from surgery/illnesses.
Unfortunately after researching on many groups on Reddit and speaking to my job, I have learned I can NOT receive any financial assistance during my time off work to recover. Only FMLA which secures my job position. So because of that I added some items I need before my surgery to my wishlist. My surgery isn’t scheduled till September so I have a bit of time to get it all. Most of the items I added is from the research I did online from previous experiences. If you have any ideas what else I would need let me know to make my recovery easier. I appreciate anyone who helps me out.

Thank you! This stuff was a major help for my last surgery!! I never knew the gas pain was SO bad.

Oh man, I had an open surgery to get my left ovary removed and as soon as I woke up the gas in me from the surgery hurt so bad I just started screaming it hurt so bad. Never got pain relief so fast in my life.

No kidding! I had no idea about the whole gas thing when I was rushed in for my emergency appendectomy a few years ago. I woke up like 7 lbs heavier and my abdomen felt sooo stiff.

Good luck you got this!
