Hey Post Ops!

What is the ONE THING you wish you would have done to make your recovery period easier? IE : Move a table closer or get extra pillows. Anything...

I was pretty organized, had bills all set out for hubby to mail, made apple juice and broth ice cubes so I could take one or two out of the freezer and by the time it melted it was time for my next 2 ounce meal, I had caught up on all laundry and gotten the house tidied (at least in a path from bedroom to bathroom! hahaha!!!) I even used some camping tie-down straps to hook at the end of the bed to use to pull myself sitting up when hubby went back to work. I really needed them as I had carpal tunnel surgery only 4 weeks before my RNY so I only had use of one hand for the most part. oh here is a biggie! I am a bit of a germaphobe (more so from infections from wounds cuz I'm diabetic) and the first time I was allowed to shower I wouldn't step in until hubby cleaned it well with antibacterials!!! so if you are having open, have someone really clean up the tub0grunge. and bring a big pillow for the car ride home! you hug it to your tummy for those bumpy roads. sorry I couldn't think of a better tip!
