Hospital Items

I am scheduled for surgery June 27 with Dr. Daly.  Is there anything I need to make sure and pack.  I figure loose clothing, slippers, robe, chap stick.  Anything else?  I live about 45 minutes west of Atlanta. 

A small pillow to hug if you cough, turn, and travel.  Your cell phone (it has your numbers already ),  and I took a cd player to drown owt the nurses and hospital noise.  You may also want to make sure everything you will need when you get home, like your proteins, dishes, measuring stuff, and refridgerated items are at a level that you don't have to bend or reach at all.  You also want to make sure you measure yourself before surgery.  Trust me it will help a lot afterwards.  Good luck.

I wanted to wish you luck with your surgery.  Dr Daly is also my surgeon.

Be sure to buy all of your groceries and stuff ahead of time.  I was self pay (prepaid in full the day before) and got no frills at the hospital.  At Atl. Med. Center a plastic spoon to eat ice chips with, a emisis basin to throw up in (just in case) and mouth swabs or chapstick  were non existent.  Definitiely bring chapstick!  Good luck!  Life is good!
