So heres some things that i didnt think of before surgery that i had to send someone out to get, i know again its different for everyone but heres a few tips.
Humidifiers help soooooooooo much in the beginning, if u can get one it will really help.
Liquid advil( although i couldnt take, it catches my throat, too syrupy, ive tried 2 kinds now)
vaseline for lips
gatorade
ensure
carnation instant breakfast
beef broth
zip and squeeze website...get the ice pack head warp, really good and the recipe book, sooooooo helpful omg u would belive the tips and recipes in there...zip and squeeze i have but u cant control the liquid coming out so u choke yourself, well i do at least
syringe.....VERY IMPORTANT....we got 2 at the hospital, but definately not enough, pick up at least 10, ull need them 24/7 for drinking, meds, etc...and the markings wear off so ull need new ones for measuring....the syringe is easy to get but its harder to get the tubing that u attach on to go in your mouth.
kleenex-lots cuz ur gona drool like crazy
q-tips and peroxide...for cleaning our your nose after surgery, get rid of dried blood with q0tip and watered down peroxide
brush for syringe bottle
salt water solution for rinsing
non alcololic mouth wash watered down
tupperware
some premade soups frozen if possible will cut down prep time
blender...MUST HAVE
gravol...lost of, well at least i was very nauseuous...theres also a patch available, lasts 3 days, called transderm-v
lastly is suppositories pain meds...not the greatest but will help if u cant take orally as i couldnt cuz i didnt have enough liquids in me and it made me sick
Think thats about it, im sure theres others but those are DEFINATE things that helped me through my recovery
