I needed NOTHING but the clothes on my back and my phone. I didn't feel like talking, but I did text...I didnt read...I didn't change etc...The ONE thing I wish i had was a pillow for my tailbone / back..  Good luck!

 I have been a member for a little while and have not really said much if anything on the forums because I am incredibly shy and usually have nothing good to add or say lol... um so my surgery is schedualed for the 29th and I am kinda freaking out... I had a bear of a time getting approved because everyone kept losing my paperwork and/or not recieving it so all of a sudden everything got submitted and the next day BAM... approved, jeeze it was like getting hit in the head with a soggy pillow. I mean I am happy but at the same time I am kinda shell shocked and the old nurvousness I had in the beggining is creeping back in, I thought I had mastered my fear and hessitation but its baaaaack. anyways I just wanted to introduce myself and maybe find people to talk to since I am lacking in the social department. My name is nicole, im 30 and I am not only a stay at home mom I am also a notoriously bad speller. Anywho, just wanted to say hi and maybe make a few friends and swap support.
