Getting ready for Surgery on Tues.

Ditto in what you said, Janine.........for this last trip, geez Louise, I brought way too much stuff, books, Ipod, clothes, underwear, etc.........I used none of it except my chapstick, comb and toothbrush, and house dress for the ride home!!!

Pack light baby!

Thanks Janel,

I was going to bring alot but sounds like I will not need it. 
Glad your home safe and your arm looks great

Thanks Janine I think I am a little more nervous than I thought because I haven't been sleeping very well this week-end.

Gina 

Congrats on your date.  Enjoy the journey as you go into this next phase.

Monica

Thank you Monica.

Hi Gina!  Wow, how exciting!  I'm almost a year out and can well remember my growing excitement and happiness at knowing I was almost there!!  I brought a pillow for the ride home, like Janine said, I live close to the hospital, but it sure feels good to put it between you and the seat belt.  Honestly, I'd also bring a comfy pillow from home for the actual hospital stay.  My hospital was great except for the rocks that they call pillows.  I had a headache by the time I left and think I would've cried if they told me I had to stay longer.  Chapstick is good, and that's pretty much it, they'll supply everything else!  Have a great surgery and you'll be fine!!  xo  Kim

Thanks Kim.

Wishing you the best of luck with your surgery and a speedy recovery!   I also took very little.   I took my toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, and a couple sets of comfortable (stretchy) clean clothes.    I was able to shower the day after my surgery and it felt good.   I think it helped me to feel more like walking which there is going to be alot of.   Be sure to let us know how you are doing. 

Thank You

Gina,
I am using your post to know what to pack! lol
Dont forget to come find me in the hospital so we can take walks to get out of there faster!
