hand surgery smack dab in the middle of my period
I'm having surgery on my right hand - my dominant hand - tomorrow morning and it will be day 5 of my period. My period usually lasts 7-9 days.
I'm planning to clean and re-insert my cup before leaving for the hospital and hopefully my flow will be light enough by tomorrow I will be able to leave it in all day.
I've been trying to practice left handed insertion, and I can get a C-fold in with my left hand. But I can't get it to open consistently.
I usually use a punch down fold with my right hand. I just can't seem to manage keeping the punch down closed till it passes my pubic bone when I try using the left hand.
I'm wondering if I should just suck it up and plan on using pads for the rest of this cycle... waaaaa!
I would really appreciate any tips or suggestions for non-dominant hand removal and insertion!
TIA!
