surgery, buy ? do? ,,, in little rock

Hubby's surgery is scheduled for wednesday.  I am wondering what everyone would recommend having ready at home for when we get back?  Also the kids and I are going to be in Little Rock for the week and our middle daughter is turning 13 while we are there. I am looking for some cheap entertainment while we are there. They will drive me nuts being stuck in a hotel room and hospital room. I am not an adventurous driver so close to and easy to get to would be great! We are staying at the Ramada on Shackleford. 

thanks for any help you can give.

ps any close good places you would recommmend to eat at? or would deliver to the hotel that doesnt cost an arm and leg....lol.

Sorry to just be getting back to  you. 

Who is your DH's doctor? Haven't they given you a list of things for him to eat on his post op diet yet?

Most likely he will be on a full liquid diet wi*****ludes things like fat free cream soups,  sugar free jello and puddings, yogurt, cottage cheese, applesauce (SF, of course). FF milk(if he can tolerate it), soft cooked or poached(NOT scrambled) eggs.

Sugar free popsicles are great to have around, they go toward his fluid intake

There is an IHOP very close to the hotel, and some fast food types of places all around there. Ask at the front desk, they'll be very helpful, I'm sure.

There is a small mall on the south end of Shackleford that is pretty new, not a lot in there yet, but there is a Cracker Barrell and some other places. There is also a movie theater on Colonel Glen rd, just at the next exit south on 430 from where you are. Again, I'm sure the desk people will be able to help.

Besides food and whatever else your hubby's surgeon will tell you to get, I would get a measured shotglass.  One that measures .5 oz, 1 oz, 1.5 oz and 2 oz on the side of it.  Mine was a godsend, It was much easier to use than tablespoons.  And during the 1oz stage you can use it as a bowl to eat out of. 
Also an egg timer, I used mine for the first few months every day.  I set it to 30 minutes before it was time to eat, 30 minutes while eating and would take a tiny nibble every so many minutes (depending on stage depended on how many bites per minutes I took), then 90 minutes after eating.  the first week home I had it go off every hour to remind me to get up and walk my hallways.  You will find an egg timer to be the best thing to have when everything rotates around time. 
I had baby spoons, the small juice glasses that hold 4 oz.  I sent my partner to sonic every morning for a route 44 of crushed ice with water and lemon, and would eat the crushed ice.  Sonics crushed ice was the only one I liked. 
That's all I can think of right now, oh a large comfortable robe.  And with the weather getting cold, I very heavy coat as he will most likely be very cold.  I wore one in August after my surgery.  Didn't matter if it was 100 outside, I felt like it was 40.  

Dixie cups might be good for eating out of to. 

Oh, I bought little bowls with lids, the small snack size round ones with snap on lids, and every flavor of sugar free pudding and put one flavor in each bowl and labeled them and I used them with vanilla protein powder so I could have a different flavor everyday.  I didn't want to commit to a large canister of different flavors.

Okay now that is all I can think of, perhaps a journal or diary or something for him to keep progress in and to write in daily how he is feeling, surgery wise.  It helps so when you have questions, write it down so he doesn't forget to ask.
