Making Ice-pack underwear

You will need diapers (I used the 8-14lb size)
Cut at the edge of the absorbent padding and use your hand to create an opening throughout the length of
the diaper that you can use to insert the ice.

Bagged ice worked better than ice cubes because it 

was smaller and round so it could be pushed farther

 into the diaper.

Voila!!! - fold over or cut the flaps of the diaper and 

just place it in a pair of underwear (to hold it in place) 

and you have an awesome ice-pack which will last

hours and as the ice melts the absorbent lining of the 

diaper will absorb the water!!

This awesome recommendation from my friend and 

sister was what allowed me to walk the first several 

weeks after my surgery.
