Topic: RE: Surgery 2/27 - What to take to the hospital?
Hi girls,
A brought in a small bag with:
1. Two pair of Sock
2. Lipbalm
3. Small Fan (portable)
4. A book (which i really didn't read)
5. 2 pijama pants (not the tops)
6. My ID and insurance card
7. Slippers (very important)
8. Antibacterial Soap (my hospital didn't have any)
You won't be able to use your pijama tops because of the IV in your hand. I had my Pijama bottoms because i didn't want to be walking on the hallways with nothing on.
And also I used the same clothes i came to the hospital with to go back home.
One more thing, if you are used to a particular pillow, you can take that with you too.
A backpack will do the trick for the 2 1/2 day you will be at the hospital.
Best of luck to you both.
God Bless You,
Miriam
Topic: RE: My Date is 2-29
Alright, so I woke up yesterday with a slight cold. I ran to the pharmacy and picked up Zicam, and Zink. I've been taking them as directed, and woke up today feeling worse. I'm freaking out AGAIN lol. Will they cancel my surgery because I have a cold? I waited a whole month to be scheduled for my day. I can't stand the waiting process. I'm giong to urgent care this morning to see if they can give me a shot to knock it out of me NOW. Please pray for me. I'll update more later.

What wonderful news! I love the part about you getting out of bed and walking...before you were even out of recovery! I can't wait to see your "before" and "after." Continue to do well and keep us posted.
P.S. How lovely you had a family member with you; as a single person with family hundreds of miles away, I'm doing this alone. Scary! I hope I do even half as well as you.

Oh, MAN ... I really need the answer to this, too. I need to pack my bag tomorrow and just have NO clue what to bring. Let me in on the secrets if you learn 'em!

Wow! 
That's AWESOME that you are feeling so great and are already 12 pounds down! 
I agree ... probably weighing yourself every day is a no-no 
Keep up the great work! You are too cool for school! 
(Sorry ... a little slap happy right now!)

Topic: Surgery 2/27 - What to take to the hospital?
Did everyone take their own PJs / clothes to change into 2nd day post-op? Or did you just wear the funky hospital gown the whole stay?
Also, I was thinking about taking a book, mags, my IPOD...will I be too out of it to care about entertaining myself or should I have "stuff" with me?
Any other suggestions about "do's and don'ts" on what to bring with me are greatly appreciated.
I'm nervous, happy, frightened, disbelieving, hopeful, and just really FREAKED OUT!!!
