Topic: RE: Date set...Aug 28th
We share the same birthday. 
That is so exciting.
How far is Kalamazoo from Lansing? My daughter lives outside of Lansing in Perry. I was just in Michigan last week to celebrate her 30th birthday. 
Have a great weekend. Keep in touch.
Hugs,
Trish

Topic: RE: have a date, need support
I've been cleaning my house and packing up the largest sizes of my winter clothes. I'm planning on having ALL of my laundry done and put away before I leave so I won't have to do a thing when I come home. I cleaned out all the tempting stuff from the fridge, freezer and pantry. I have baby spoons and baby dishes. I have small storage containers. I bought ice cube trays to freeze small portions of food in.
Things I'm bringing to the hospital that weren't mentioned:
- Laptop computer
- Favorite pillow
- iPod
- DVDs
- Camera (to take pictures of the friends who visit me)
- Small Scrapbook (for people to sign when they vist. I might not remember they were there)
- Hospital paperwork
- Journal
- Magazines/books
- PJs (I'm not down with wearing a gown)
Topic: I'm Home :-)
Well, I came home last night after having surgery on Tuesday. I feel absolutely fine, and have lost 11 pounds already - of course, the liquid diet did that!
I have been off pain meds since Wednesday morning, and am up to about 4 ounces of fluid an hour. Warm tastes better than cold, and I'm finding some of the things I bought to have when I came home are NOT my favorite foods. I used to eat Jello all the time, but now it seems to have some funky taste to it, as does broth. Hot tea is my friend.
I feel really good - a little tired still, but in the hospital, they wake you every 2 hours to check vitals.
My surgery was scheduled for 7:30, but I ended up not going in until 10 due to an emergency procedure in the room I was scheduled for. They kept me on bedrest the entire day and overnight, but then let me get up the next day. I walked the halls until I was bleary eyed - I couldn't wait to get home!
So, I'm home, feeling good, optimistic that all will continue to go well!
