GYN/Ovarian BFFLBag® Improving the Patients Experience
What can you do for a friend or family member facing a hysterectomy, ovarian or other GYN surgery? What can a patient do to prepare herself for surgery?
It’s hard to believe that my mom was not much older than I am now when she discovered she had ovarian cysts and had to have a hysterectomy. Ever the (delusional?) optimist, I remember my mom telling me that at least she would never have to have periods again. I remember laughing and thinking that was an added bonus, but I was secretly nervous for her. The surgery didn’t sound pleasant and hormone replacement patches seemed a little dangerous since it was so foreign to me. We were a pretty holistic family, so I wasn’t sure what to expect.
On top of that, I was a poor college student with little experience as to what women go through and face after GYN surgery. What are you supposed to do to make things easier? My mom is always one to suck things up and make things seem awesome when clearly they are not. Besides flowers and a few cards and calls, I offered little else in the way of products that would have made her more comfortable. If only I had known what I know now, things would have been much different, even if it meant selling more plasma.
Thankfully, the Best Friends for Life (BFFL) Co. makes a fantastic product called The GYN/Ovarian BFFLBag® that provides comfort, convenience and caring for women facing GYN surgery. It looks fabulous and packed full of wonderful items that a women will need for in-hospital surgical recovery and any post-surgical, chemotherapy or radiation therapy she may face. Brilliant! The BFFLBag® is truly one of a kind and is made with lightweight and stain resistant pack cloth with metal feet (who wants your bag to touch the hospital floor – ewww!) with roomy pockets and enough space for all essential personal items.
The GYN/Ovarian BFFLBag® contains:
- Axillapilla® support pillow
- Skin care gift pack
- Foldable, washable water bottle
- Comfortable skid-resistant slipper socks
- Wound care supplies
- Toiletries pack (everything from earplugs to toothbrush to a nailcare kit)
