Thank you so much for answering my question. Preparing for my double. I appreciate you.
You are so welcome! Wishing you all the best!
Love the of pillows which aids in proper positioning and would be happy to know the dimensions of the triangular and neck pillow, great idea of video
I was too sore to sleep on my side after the bilateral mastectomy. Not to mention the anesthesia had me drowsy still. I used a ton of pillows. These are all great tips! 🫶🏽
Thank you so much!!!
❤ Thank you
Can you make a video about the vista aspen MultiPost therapy collar?
Hi EquipMeOT! Thanks for the tips on sleep after a mastectomy. Very useful and detailed! We guess you will be the best ambassador for our REVIX ice packs. We emailed and DM you for the collab. Nice to check it out!
Great advise. I had my mastectomy 5 days ago and bought the gray wedge on amazon. My biggest problem is pressure on my sacrum from sleeping in the same position all night. I can’t turn or do anything but just lay there on a 45 degree angle and let my bottom take all the pressure. I am worried about pressure ulcers from not turning and changing positions.
Hi, love the informative video. I would like to use your video as a reference for breast cancer patients undergoing surgery. I just am not able to tell if you are recommending patients put ice on their surgical sites or not. I noticed it seemed more for pressure rather than temperature. Can you clarify?
I am so glad I found you. What brand is that wedge? I’ve been obsessively searching Amazon. Then I read the critical reviews and get flummoxed.
This is the one I own and love! amzn.to/3tbDlId
How we can buy this pillow,,?.how much is it ash colour one ..
Thank you for these videos! I’ve found so many of them helpful. Is there any way you could cover ways to prop your feet up in bed or a recliner? I have severe arthritis and CRPS type 2 (aka RSD) and I have to keep my feet propped on pillows while in the recliner or in bed and sometimes the back of my heels and/or ankles just throb while I have them propped up. I try to scrunch the pillow up and hang my feet off the pillow so they aren’t touching the mattress, but having my feet hanging hurts too. I’ve tried googling ways to help, but maybe I’m not looking in the right places because it isn’t helpful. Thanks again for taking the time and energy to help educate all of us.🙂
Hello! Thank you for watching. Have you ever tried a supportive foot and ankle pillow while elevating? They would support the ankle in a stable position while sleeping. amzn.to/3pOWkae
@@EquipMeOT thank you so very much for the reply and suggestion, I really appreciate it! I have ordered these and can’t wait until they come in to try them
Unrelated to this video but, what would you recommend in order to put lotion on feet when a person cannot reach below their knees? TYIA
Thank you so much for these videos! My wife is having the surgery today. @EquipMeOT
