5 Days till Surgery!

Lots of good advice given here. Here is my OCD list of thngs to bring... and do while in hospital after surgery. 1. Bring a back scratcher... use it as an extension of your arm.  I found it hard to bend forward and the back scratcher became my "reacher". 2. Lip balm (cocoa butter by Palmers is great) is a must. 3. Pillow for sure... even when you are in bed, it helps support your stomach. 4. Hydration is prime... I (OCD for sure) lined up an hours worth of those one ounce cups. So following the rule of one ounce every 10 mins, I lined up 6 cups with water. Made it easier to just grab one and drink it. Good Luck! Towanda

One day left before I head off to surgery!
