Don't forget about your support person!
Another member just reminder me how difficult the wait was for her husband. In all my worries, I had almost forgotten what my husband must be going through! So as a little reminder to let him know how much I love him and how thankful I am, I am going to pack a GOODIE bag for him; a bag with a book, crossword puzzles, a bottle of water, some peanuts and a few love notes. I won't let him know I am going to do this, but I will give it to him before I go into surgery. I think it's a wonderful idea to take a momentt to thank our supporter(s) in a little special way!

What an absolute wonderful idea. I wish I'd read it five days ago. My husband was my rock the first few days and continues to be. He helps me with everything. I know that day of surgery and the first night in the hospital were so very difficult for him, mostly due to lack of sleep, food and drink so I think this is a super idea. I might would suggest a neck pillow or small blanket, too. It wasn't until the middle of the night that the nurse recognized he was still there and brought him a sheet and different chair that wasn't so upright.
