What are things I can for my mom post surgery?

Published

My mom is having a surgery at the end of this month called robotic rectoplexy. Her doctor said he will probably stay 5 days in the hospital after the surgery. She didn't tell me all the details. I was wondering if anyone can help me. I read online that she might have a foley for a few days. Is there anything I can do for my mom? My mom won't have a shower for 5 days, is there something I can do for her? like what kind of wipes can i buy her to help her clean up and feel refreshed without worrying about any bacteria or infection? i read she might be on a clear liquid diet. i'm sure the hospital will provide her, but is there something i can make at home that can be considered clear liquid?

I'm sorry, but we can't give medical advice on this forum per TOS. These are excellent questions to ask the doctor, the nurse, and the case manager. Best wishes for your mom's recovery!
