Preparing for husband for APR surgery

Hi BradleyJ I had a different operation but hopefully someone’s who’s had an APR will be along shortly. I think it is pressure on the anus which has been sewn up which is the most uncomfortable part and a valley cushion is recommended. I think they’re expensive to buy but you could see if your local hospital or mobility shop loans them out?

Hope it goes well - it’s a big op but my friend had one 9 years ago, recovered quickly and leads a normal life nowadays 

Take care
