The gear that I swear by... tested in the trenches.

I’ve spent years (and way too much money) trial-and-erroring my way through tube tape, compression socks, and medical backpacks. Here is the stuff that actually works… from the medical necessities to the little treats that keep me sane.

The "Keep Me Upright" Order

Venti Iced Blonde Vanilla Latte, 6 shots, whole milk

Why it works: It’s smooth energy without the crash. I drink it slowly and stretch it out, so it supports my day instead of hitting all at once.

Tube Life Hacks

The Tape that Doesn’t Hurt
(Finally, one that doesn’t take my skin.)

Tubie Pads with Personality
(Because medical devices don’t have to be boring.)

The “Go” Backpack
(Fits the pump, wallet, supplies and everything in between. Magic.)

Symptom Tamers

The Stoma Savior: Calmoseptine
(The only barrier that actually works for me.)

Compression (That isn’t Ugly)
(Real talk: They take 10 minutes to put on, but make me feel better.)

Portable Warmth: The Heated Jacket
(Reasonably priced, durable, and feels like a warm hug when my body can’t regulate itself.)

For the Soul

The Daily Anchor
(My favorite devotional for high-pain days.)

The Bible in my Pocket
(Whether I’m listening or reading in ‘dark mode’ while the house is asleep… it keeps the truth right at my fingertips.)

Worship Playlist
(The songs that get me through each and every day.)
