I dont have gift ideas but I had a reduction and here’s some tips: - the drain clips suck, and its very uncomfortable when the drains fall and tug at the wound. secure them as well as you can - make sure she can access help during night. you have to sleep sitting up for a bit and if you slump it’s uncomfortable. She’ll need help sitting back up - stay on top of the pain meds!!!! on time, not an hour early or late. dont try to tough it out. Its a massive and painful surgery

Perhaps think of a way to wash her hair in the kitchen sink, a chair low enough?

Something that really helped after my own surgery (through not breast surgery) was having people around to help with basic things. Having help washing hair or getting some clothes on was really humanizing. It’s nice to feel clean. If you’re able to be present with her, it would mean the world to her to have someone around to fill a water bottle or grab something from across the room.
