TALK TO U ALL LATER ANNETTE

Annette! Good luck and you'll soon be on the "looser's" bench! I'm so very happy for you! Honestly, you won't use much of anything you pack. Definately pack a lip balm of some sort, but other than that, I don't think I even opened my bag once. Do you have an angel that will be keeping us posted? Love, Tammy

HI, MAGGIE S. IS MY ANGEL BUT IT WONT HURT TO HAVE ANOTHER ONE I GUESS, SO I WOULD BE HONORED TO HAVE ANOTHER ANGEL, THANKS TAMMY.... ANNETTE LOOSERS BENCH**** HAD TO CORRECT MY TYPE FROM MY POSTING

Annette, I packed alot but only wore my Pajamas when I was there and slept on and off alot so just relax while you are there. Good luck tomorrow I will be thinking of you since it now is 7 days post op and I feel great just still a little tired now and then

HEY BARB ITS NICE TO SEE YOU ON THE BOARD AGAIN...HOPE EVERYTHING IS GOIN GOOD FOR U...

Annette this is soooooooooooooooo exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So you sleep with the fan on too????? hahaha Ive been a fan of the fan since I was 8 years old!!! Carried my fan to college with me and now have my husband and children hooked!!!! hahaha Please give us updates Annette!!!!! ~Bethany

Congratulations Annette! I too am a "fan"! When I went in I packed a book and 4 magazines- didn't read a thing! Mostly I spent my time walking around the floor and sleeping. I wish you all the best for a speedy recovery. See you on the losing side!! ~Robin

Chapstick, Don't forget the chapstick. I don't know how much you'll feel up to painting. I would concentrate all your free time on walking. It really does help you feel better. The fan is an excellent idea. Best wishes as you get ready to join the loser's side. I'm polishing a spot for you on the loser's bench now. Have a safe journey through surgery and a speedy recovery. Maggie

Hey Annette: Good luck sweetie on your journey tomorrow to the loser's side. You will do great. We will all be here praying for your successful surgery and quick recovery. Make sure you take a pillow from home for your tummy. You will need it for the ride home and when you cough, laugh or sneeze. It helped me. You won't need alot to bring with you, just toiletry essentials and comfortable clothes for home and slippers too. That is all I brought. Make sure you get your fluids in and do your walking and breathing at the hospital so you can go home on time. Take care and God bless. Let me know if you need anything. Hugs KimC
