How to Create a Comforting After Surgery Gift
It happens to each of us several times a year - a friend calls to talk about an upcoming surgery. It could be surgery for themselves, a friend you have in common or maybe a close relative. Whoever it is, we all wonder what we can do to help out. The best thing is to connect and show you care in some way. Studies have shown that people who feel they have support and a network of caring friends actually experience better health outcomes.
Obviously, different surgeries have very different recovery times. Regardless of the type of surgery or recovery time, there are some basic things you can do to help a friend that work for almost any situation.
First, focus on physical comfort. You can help a friend find items at home, or send them a comfort package with the basics included. Whether laying in bed or resting on the sofa, getting comfortable after surgery is always the challenge.
Soft pillows are a basic for helping to get "comfy" in different resting positions. Microbead squish pillows offer the perfect amount of support to help alleviate aches and pains. They conform and squish to help support arms, legs, neck, head, elbows, heels - virtually any body part. A cylindrical shape is a good choice for a pillow because it makes a nice neck roll or lower back support. Make sure to select a pillow that is filled with some sort of small polystyrene or buckwheat beads, so that the pillow will offer enough flexibility to really be comfortable.
Light yet warm blankets are also great. Try to choose a blanket made from natural fibers, that breathes and is very soft. Organic bamboo is one of the softest natural fibers available and is great because it breathes, is anti-microbial and is grown without the use of pesticides. Organic cotton is also very soft, breathable and offers a light covering without trapping too much heat.
Speaking of bamboo, bamboo socks are another nice comfort item for someone recuperating after surgery. Feet tend to get cold when a person is lying in bed or on the sofa for long periods, and a nice pair of soft, warm socks is always appreciated.
A good quality, no-spill water bottle with straw is another essential comfort item. Patients after surgery often have pain medications to take and need water, plus staying hydrated is recommended for most people because it is key to helping the body heal. Choose a water bottle that has a solid base, doesn't tip easily, has a no-spill feature and a straw. Why are these features important? Have you ever felt so weak and sore that you didn't even want to move to get a drink, much less reach for a water bottle that spills or has such a big opening that it spills on your face when you drink? A good water bottle is something that will be used long after surgical recovery is over.
A few other ideas include a box of soft facial tissues at the bedside; antibacterial wipes that can be used when a person doesn't feel well enough to get to a sink to wash up, or when the immune system is compromised and fighting germs is vitally important; and a basic organic unscented lip balm to help keep the mouth hydrated and comfortable.
Small, healthy snack items are also good to have on hand. Small crackers, natural fruit chips, healthy nuts - all of these are health focused and offer some protein with minimal sugars. Avoid processed foods, foods high in salt or fat, which can be hard to digest and don't offer much nutritional value to help the body heal.
You can also lend emotional support to a friend after surgery. Call regularly to check in, offer to sit with a friend if they are up to visitors, and just listen. You can also give a friend a journal, which is great for writing down medication schedules, notes from the doctor, or for journaling therapy. It has been shown in clinical studies that just 10 minutes of journaling a day for 4 consecutive days helps improve emotional health. If your friend enjoys music, give a new selection of music to listen to. You can also give a nice selection of current magazines, a new book or video.

Accessorize With Outdoor Pillows and Cushions
Putting outdoor pillows and cushions would be the best way to accessorize your patio or backyard sofa or outdoor pool. It really does make a difference if you have them strategically placed and carefully chosen, to complete the overall "outdoor" look. It is therefore important to know first, what are the types of pillows or cushions available in the market? And what are their purposes?
Pillows are intended to provide comfort and support the body. It could be further subdivided into three. First, there are the bed pillows. As the name clearly implies these are the pillows that we use in bed, normally rectangular in shape.
Second the orthopedic pillows; these include the lumbar pillows, body pillows, orthopedic neck pillows, donut pillows and travel pillows which support or prop up the neck and the head during travel. These pillows are usually used in the hospital or are prescribed by therapists and doctors for specific patients with specific pillow needs.
And lastly there are the decorative pillows. These pillows still provide comfort and support however, on top of that they are used to accessorize a certain furniture or as an added decoration to a particular sofa, etc. Outdoor pillows, floor pillows, couch pillows, accent pillows and the likes fall under this category.
A cushion on the other hand is defined as a soft bag made of fabric that is stuffed with feather, hair, polyester and wool. It's used to soften a kneeling or sitting area or a couch. When used outside, it can be used as a rug to soften a hard surface like the ground.
So how do we choose which outdoor pillow or cushion is most appropriate for use and decoration in our patio or den? First, we can consider the furniture or the ornaments that are already present outdoors. It would ease out the burden of having to choose which style or design is applicable for the pillows' fabric. For example if the furniture or the sofa is vintage looking, the outdoor pillow's fabric should look or feel vintage also. Choose something that compliments the entire look of the den or the backyard.
For additional style, there are outdoor pillows available in different shapes and sizes. You can mix and match them so it won't look too boring. You can also ask for a specific fabric or material like the sunbrella fabric which is a good choice of fabric especially if it's for outdoor use. If the design that you want is not readily available you can also have them customized.
There are also lots of cushion types out in the market now. You can get a bench cushion, a chair cushion a chaise lounge cushion, etc. It's up to you to decide which of these will work best and look good on your den or patio.
Ultimately, the challenge of scouting for outdoor pillows and patio chair cushions rely on your own judgment. It's up to you to weigh your options and decide if you want comfort over style or vice versa. What is important is that you never forget that functionality should weigh more than anything else precisely because these things or decorations are made with a purpose.
