Hi so im due for a mastectomy and.diep flap from my stomach. The nurses have suggested i bring in carrier bags. I have no idea what size or how.many ?
If they bags are for drains there are lots of patterns on YouTube. But i work for a charity that makes them ...and syringe driver bags and lots of other stuff. ...so let me know if you need some.
Aww bless you im just not sure what size and how many to be honest.
Hi , My hospital supplied a cotton bag about the size of a small childs plimsol bag for the drain.It made it much easier to walk around the ward without it pulling or dragging on the floor. Perhaps give your BCN a call and enquire from her? I am sure she will be able to advise you. Kwissy
