[quote=Anonymous]Hi All, OP here with an update. My Mom is scheduled for surgery next week (partial mastectomy). I’m super anxious. She doesn’t have a recliner at all despite my offers to rent one and says she is going to make up the bed with pillows. She claims she has a wedge pillow. Someone gave her a mastectomy pillow thankfully. She claims she will get some ice gel packs at the hospital. Should we be buying extra gel packs?? She also doesn’t have a prescription for narcotics - they said “we prefer Tylenol and Motrin..” How can that possibly be strong enough for a partial mastectomy?? What are some other things we need to prepare/get ready? I mentioned stool softener and she brushed it off. She said I can get that later if I need it - I don’t think she realizes the magnitude of the surgery??[/quote]
