Because of her ordeals -mostly during the post surgery recovery- it became our motivation for an invention we call Comfort-Caddy. This is a device that helps ALL patients of surgical procedures that had Post Operative Surgical Drains attached. The simplest everyday tasks we take for granted is now extremely complicated with Surgical Drains such as: being able to take showers (leaving both hands completely free to wash and securely holding the drains in place preventing the drains to touch the shower tiles which is the leading cause of staph infections - which our CEO unfortunately contracted); or sleep comfortably (without all the unnecessary tugging and pulling to the wound area during the night); or be able to venture outdoors by discretely wearing the comfort-caddy under your garment (keeping the drains secure in their individual pouches). For solutions, please see our Patent Pending Invention at: www.comfort-caddy.com Please help us get the word out as this simple invention will help millions of patients every year that have Surgical Drains.

Pull-through spaces are our new best friend. If you bump into a car in the plastic surgeon's parking lot, so be it. Hopefully, it will be the good doctor's car - that will teach him/her a lesson.
