Hye Joyce,
I wish you well and a speedy recovery.....

BUT,  I'm curious.....If you don't mind, why a DS after a Revision??  I remember you had a distal, right?  You look great and you looked great last time I saw you.  I keep thinking what I would do if I had a blockage and would need to have surgery again.   You've are a great source of very good information...:)

Take a couple of large towels because the small ones the hospital provides is still fresh in my mind for some reason.     

Take care,
Candy

One more suggestion, IF you should need to be in the hospital more than a day or two, Specificly request NOT TO BE DISTURBED at NIGHT except for absolutely neccesary things like blood draws or pain meds. I found being woke up every 2-3 hours for blood pressure checks and the like , really messed with my rest and healing. I needed that uninterupted sleep desperately to heal. I am not a "good day sleeper" so I asked to have anything that could be done before nite nite time, done and everything else put off till morning. This won't float the first night for sure but it's available if you are there longer. will be praying for you! Nancy

Joyce, yes,  this is a link to what they look like, about a buck something a piece at hi health and they come in 9 flavors, 25 grams of absorbable protein and CLEAR and grit free. They taste great room temp or cold, I actually prefer them room temp because that's what I got used to when I was in the hospital after the emergency surgery. All the flavors are good.

I'm a dinosaur and don't even own an Ipod  but I can always flip to the station that has the classicala music with the calming scenery?  Good idea with the eye mask!

I'll send you a text when all is well.  K?

I have a lovely warm robe & slippers packed!  I"m always sooooo cold that I KNOW I'll wrap myself up in the robe AND an extra blanket.

Thanks for the suggestions and the warm wishes Dawn!
