A pedicure for me was wonderful, bright glossy red toenails made me feel better when I was full of fluid up to my collarbones!!! Also nice comfy slippers you can just slip on. I made myself some soft cotton pj pants with gentle elastic that I could wear nice and high away from the incision area. I found I was sore all over my stomach so the maternity skirts and pants etc with the tight band were quite uncomfortable. Hair band a must! And the refresher towellettes, great idea, would have loved those. I kept a small brush and mirror beside the bed so if I had visitors coming I cuold brush my hair and check I looked ok without having to get up and walk to the bathroom. Also, many of the tops I had I was too hot in, sleeveless is the way to go.
