Hospital Bag: Affirming Care Edition 🏳️⚧️
While each surgery, procedure, and treatment will be different, these are some of the things that I’ve found helpful to pack outside of the lists of items your surgeon and team will provide:
🧤Gloves: There will be dressing changes and catheter emptying and you want a clean environment
✅Pads: There will be bleeding and gives freedom to walk around
🧊Ice/Ice Packs: Swelling and pain management is key for a couple weeks
💩Squatty potty/ Stool: This may not be appropriate for all however, is great for that first p**p
✅Chuck pads/Liners: Allowing surgical sites to air out will be important as well as protecting bed and couch surfaces
✅Pillow/Cushion: Makes travel more comfortable and sitting on harder surfaces
Affirming care looks different for all bodies and providing education, treatment, and preparation is the role of pelvic floor physical therapy
