Joined: May 2012 Posts: 162 Likes: 1 | Good evening folks, So I have been on a tear through the house, cleaning, organizing & tossing. I still have two items that were very useful during my husband's treatment:
1. Lady's electric razor, (used just for a few weeks) extremely gentle on skin during treatment
2. C-Pap chin strap (new in box), very useful during the worst of treatment. Husband wore one just like this to keep his mouth closed at night, to avoid it drying out. Really helped with some of the mouth issues.
I hate throwing away useful stuff. If you are going through treatment and would be interested in using either or both of these items, please send me a private message. I'm happy to pay postage, just want them to find a good home.
