peri bottle and post op hygiene

[Guest guest]

hi all. after one of my babies I used a clean, new,

squeeze ketchup bottle. It worked great. The red kind

you get at Wal Mart or target to hold your bulk

ketchup in. Another option would be to get a small

spray bottle (8-12 oz) and " mist " the area with a few

squirts. A full-fledged " peri bottle " isn't necessary.

I plan on having the bottle as well as the salad tongs

and cottenelles. Now if I can just get insurance

approval!

Salad tongs?

Pray tell, what are the salad tongs for? (dangling my participle

along with my curiosity!)

On about April, there were lots of anxiety-driven discussions about

ways to clean your butt after a BM when the incision makes it too

painful to service it by hand. I got so pshcyed up that I went out

and got a small insecticide spray unit that is powered by a built-in

hand-pump (about $10 in Home Depot). Luckily, I never had to use it,

as I could reach my butt without any pain from the get-go. I was

lap, though. I do recommend having some moistened baby-wipes (like

Papmers) handy to help clean up after the " paper work " is done.

YMMV,

Steve

Another item for backside wiping is a hand-held device that is about

1 foot long and curves around and has a holder for the toilet paper.

It's available at larger Pharmacies including Beaverton Pharmacy in

Beaverton Oregon. It's made by + Nephew. Product code

#AA2650. One Quality Drive, PO Box 1005 Germantown, WI 53022-8205.

Good Luck!
