cloudbusting Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Such a good suggestion! Last time I had surgery it was so difficult to wash my hair.
paxsky Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 great suggestion! especially since my hair oils up after 2 days. also, I'd like to suggest to myself and people with maybe sensitive stomaches, immodium or the like...
dallas101 Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 By the way, does the clinic pick you up at the airport? Or do you take a taxi? Or a bus?
wonderamy Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Is it okay to use dry shampoo after surgery?? I am afraid that it will cause some chemical effect on my wounds....
harfe Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 This question might sound stupid. But I am planning to have jaw surgery and I know what to pack from reading this thread. However, for the flight back home which is more than ten hours for me, what can I eat on the flight while my jaw is still healing?
k-couture Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 if u have wounds on your forehead i wouldn't use it. if not its fine. Dry shampoo is pretty much baby powder in a can anyway. Least for the one i used. I also used it the day after my surgery to counteract the greasey hair so its fine
maiq Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Not sure which carrier are you flying with. But you should be able to request 'medical' meal or call them to make sure you get completely soft/soup-type food if you are on long haul flight.
harfe Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Thanks for your reply laka, I think I should stay a bit longer before flying back home. At least two weeks I guess. For the pumpkin soup and red bean soup your friend got from Korea, does it have english heating instructions?
harfe Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Thanks MaiQ, that's a good idea indeed. I will most likely fly with Singapore Air or Korean Air.
maiq Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Both of them are very good airline, I've flown with both. They'll give you first class service. When you request for medical meal, do request for low-salt/ non-oily/ non spicy soup. also sometimes they are nice and give you 'bits' like carrots and minced stuffs in the soup, if you can't chew properly this might get stuck between your teeth which is slightly uncomfortable. So also requesting for no bits in your soup will help.
mina2013 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 How about bring Protein powder with you and ask them some water so that you can have some protein shake. I don't think there is any restriction for bringing protein powder in airplane.
shinyglittery Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 oh, that's good service do they only do that if you fly first class, business or for everyone?
maiq Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 First class: yes definitely. Economy class: it depends on how early you request it so subject to availability. Requesting a medical meal is like requesting for Halal or vegetarian or any other meal, requesting meal upon the booking of the ticket is ideal, otherwise, it should be done as soon as you confirm your surgery.
paxsky Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Below are two essential things that I'm taking to Seoul. For anyone looking a very healthy liquid meal in powder form. Garden of Life Organic RAW Meal Gluten Free Vanilla -- 1.23 lbs the taste isn't the great, but it's really filling and nutritious. along with this:Vibrant Health Green Vibrance Powder -- 15 Packets mix this with the above or with juice to boost nutrition... I think this will be much better than sucking on ramen juice or the salty equivalent which won't help w/all the swelling...
