❇️ STEPS TO PREPARE SALINE SOLUTION:
1. Pour 4 cups (1L) of water into a pot.
2. Add 2 teaspoons of table salt.
3. Bring the solution to a boil.
4. Mix the solution until the salt is dissolved. Allow the solution to cool.
5. Pour the cooled saline solution into a jar and cover with a lid.
The solution can be stored on the counter at room temperature. You can keep it for a maximum of 2 days.
❇️ SALINE SOAK STEPS:
1. Wash your hands
2. Place a facecloth in a bowl.
3. Pour the saline solution in the bowl - enough to wet the cloth.
4. Gently squeeze the cloth to wring out extra liquid.
5. Place cloth over the the affected area. Leave it there for 5-10 min.
6. When you’re done remove the cloth.
7. Repeat these steps on the affected areas. Wash your hands and use a new cloth and bowl each time.
8. Let your skin air-dry 1 to 2 minutes then you can apply cream to the areas where the skin isn’t open or moist.
This routine can be done several times a day.
⭐️ Front Closure Bra that I'm wearing - amzn.to/3oLdKnC
This isn't a specially designed mastectomy bra but it worked well when I wore it after my double mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery. I have it in grey, black and cream colour.
