Just a quick tip...while I'm thinking about it.

Drain tubes....I know, they are out, and everyone, including me, is sick of hearing about them. BUT.....remember to buy button style shirts/tops in a size probably twice as large as you usually buy....before you have surgery! The drains are bulky, and they end up resting right at the hip area. And the camisole that holds them is long. I found a really nice Lee Riders button down shirt at Walmart, that worked like a charm! Also, Walmart had a really cute lounge set with elastic crop pants and a button down top... very comfy :) And of course, the prices were reasonable! The other thing I had, due to working in the medical field, are scrub tops in all sizes (always a weight battle)! Anyway, once I could move my arms just a bit up, I could put the scrub top over my head and just maneuver my arms in.....the two large ones that I have were long enough to cover the entire camisole. You need to have at least one top to wear out, because you will be going to doctor appointments, even if you don't go anywhere else.....

Well, that's my tip for the day :)

Love and hugs to all!
