Hello lovelies!

 

My surgery is only 13 days away and I'm feeling all the feels.

And I'm trying not to abuse them. ;)

I am in the market for compression socks for after surgery. Anyone have experience with this?

What brands are good for long term use and where did you end up buying them? Price range?
