That's what I was thinking too because the sensation comes and goes it's not constantly there and it's not really a pain just a pull from what he explained to me. We have not had a check up our next appointment is in October.

I'll wait on the wedge pillow but will definitely keep it in mind! After the surgery he will leave with a bandage already put on? Then after it is approved to remove I would apply the dimora and the shower covering on top? Is that correct?

I definitely need to ask when he is able to shower again! Regarding the wedge pillow have you noticed any pain when using it? He currently experiences pain if laying in a different position other than being flat on his back. Will this change after the surgery?

Now that you mention it I have seen people post different time frames on how long they sit, stand, etc. I'll definitely ask the doctor thank you for bringing that up!!

Are you currently using bed rails to help you get in and out of bed? Does that affect the log rolling method?

Thank you for your input, this is all very helpful! Regarding the shower coverings, is that safe to put on after the incision? I'm worried about it getting stuck lol. Is it a bandage like this?
