i have found shoes / trainers with Velcro straps a great help for the first few weeks after op. Just some cheap ones till the swelling goes down 👍

Even acceptable in hospital if I remember correctly in Queensland.
Because the crocs have a little dish you cannot slip out of them even when wet.
Wet ones, or baby wipes, mosturisering wipes, some hospitals supply them, a certain hospital, named after a prince, in Chermside (suburb) does supply them, or did earlier in the year, too give your face or under breasts, or any where else you feel sticky a wipe.
Get some nice hyper-allergenic, ones from the chemist, although expensive, well worth having.
Any questions about Qld care, fire away, having been there twice over, I can answer most questions.

i am sure i will have more questions once i get closer or after i have pre op,appt. i am going to call tomorrow to see if i can move it forward a bit to give myself more time to prep if i need it. This forum has been so helpful though so think i will be pretty well prepped. Its after where i will be even more glad to have the support from here.
Much appreciated
😀
