1 Selection: Be sure to choose the right type of slip resistant shoe for the job. 2  If you're on the go a lot, you might consider a slip resistant work shoe with a closed heel and secure closure design. 3  If your job requires you to stand most of the time, a slip resistant clog styled shoe with an open back may be preferable.
Recognize the importance of what Jackson-Pratt (JP) drains do. Following your surgery, you may have drainage from the wound that needs to be removed to prevent fluid, hematoma, and/or abscesses from forming. Being able to monitor the drainage also lets you watch for developing complications after your surgery.
Pour 1/2 cup white vinegar & 1/2 cup baking soda into the drain, plug off drain and let it work for 15-30 minutes, then flush with hot water. The vinegar and soda form a non-caustic reaction that clears the drain but you need to do this when you first notice it getting slow, not when it's completely plugged.
