I will be taking care of my friend after she has the Pudendal Nerve Decompression Surgery by the transgluteal approach by Dr. Hibnar. Can anyone offer any advice? Im thinking of things like- ways to comfort, distract, things you wish you knew, what didn't work....etc. She will be staying there for up to three weeks-
Thank you for taking the time to help!

That is very kind of you to take care of your friend.
Hopefully your friend likes to watch TV. A set up that allows her to lie down while watching would be good. Some good books from the library might be nice.
Some nice soft pillows to get propped into comfy positions would be good.
Either have an ice machine for pain relief or some gel ice packs on hand.
Wishing your friend a successful surgery!
Violet

Hi Pink,
I stayed in Phoenix for almost a month, after my surgery. I was by myself, so I did alot of ordering in for food. But, I could of definitely used some help with changing of bandages and food prep. I hope your friend has a good outcome.
Take care,
Wendy
