How important are pillows to surgery recovery?

Pillows are an important aspect of your hysterectomy recovery. We recommend that you hold a small pillow (like our Pocket Pillow) over your incision as you cough. Or a sneeze will require a pillow for your tender tummy.

Additionally, place a small pillow between your tender incision area and the seatbelt on any car ride to make a safer and more comfortable car ride. In fact, keep a pillow in the car just for this reason!
