The Cold Pack Pouch is Amazing

In case you haven’t figured this out, using ice on your tender belly is a great idea. Icing incisions speeds healing and helps to manage pain without medications in some cases.

The cold pack pouch provides great comfort during your hysterectomy recovery. The fun, colorfully designed pouch (handmade in the USA) helps to keep the direct chill off of you, but still provide relief to your sore, swollen belly!

This cold pack pouch can be purchased by itself or with 2 cool/hot packs.

You can place one cool pack inside the pouch, and have the second one in the freezer for later use. OR use them both at the same time for added cool relief.

This can be used at anytime, not just post op hysterectomy. Keep it for other family members “owies” and “boo-boos”. Versatile for any aches and pains.

Roll to your side to get up without using abs

Getting up and down from your bed may be a challenge. In fact, you might get into bed for a rest and when it’s time to get up, you may be stuck! Maybe you ring a bell to request room service to help you up. This is one idea!

The better option, though, provides you with independence so that you can get up and down whether you are recovering from your hysterectomy alone – or with family nearby.

We suggest getting up by rolling to your side and pushing up carefully with your arms. This takes the pressure off of direct use of your abdominal muscles.

Best idea – a Gift Certificate because she is having a hysterectomy

A gift certificate is the perfect gift any time – but it’s an especially wonderful gift if you have a friend or a co-worker who is having a hysterectomy.

Your friend can buy what she needs from the Hysterectomy Store and the gift card is delivered to her immediately via email and she can redeem it right away as she shops to prepare for her surgery.

Really? What could be easier?!

You can purchase the gift certificate in any amount to make it easy for you.
