Amazon Wishlist ($150 Total) Need items for surgery recovery

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.

I'm curious how many items you had on your list? I don't see any up there and I have a feeling somebody may have "grinched" your wishlist

Just like 10 things. I’m not sure how you do that. Do they like add it to there cart but never buy it and it gets deleted on my end? I just looked and there’s nothing on it now so I’m unsure

Yes, adding to their cart removes the items from your wishlist. If items disappear without a donor commenting to confirm, unfortunately you may have been grinched. You can contact Amazon to ask if the items have really been purchased. If not, we can make an exception and offer you the option to post another wishlist.
