4 more days!

I did my pre-admission stuff this morning. I've got my cute little bracelette and everything. I'm going to take Tanya's advice and bring my own pillow. I have on my list:

robe
slippers
pillows
chapstick
toothbrush and toothpaste (for when I leave)
crossword puzzles and pen
change of clothes to go home in. probably sweats.
cell phone
hair brush
hat
i forgot to ask if they have wireless internet. if so i'll bring my computer

am i forgetting anything?

I didn't bother with a change of clothes - I wore out what I wore in since I only had it on for about an hour and wasn't looking to win a fashion contest. Are you?: a) excited b) nervous c) excited and nervous

 

Lisa, I took your advise and called Chrystal today to see if she had everything, your were right, she didnt' have my EKG and ultra blah blah whatever the hell it is called.  so she had me call and they had it she just didn't see it on the puter, so she was gonna fax it to her.  and she didn't have my mamo gram results yet, but they are closed today so I'll call tomorrow.  other then that she has it all.  Thanks for the advise and you certainly sound like you got it all together.  I just dont' understand why we can't brush our teeth, not like we swallow the damn stuff??? geee, I'll even use a papertowel to dry it out.  that is just nasty, I won't talk to no one.

You will be eating popsicles before you know it . Woo Hoo. It is gonna be our year ladies. Nothing is standing in my way that is for sure. 

A small pillow is always good to have for when you cough hold it right to your belly it really helps. I coughed a couple times without my pillow and thought I had split everything open was even scared to look lol.. j/k but it really feels that way. You sound like you have it all covered as far as what you are bringing with you. If you like to read maybe a good book?

Sounds like you are prepared!  I also wore the same thing home that I wore there.  I brought lotion too that I used (my elbows got dry using them to scoot myself up higher in the bed since it has to stay at a 30 degree angle).   I just found out now that I was supposed to take colace after to help have a bowel movement.  Had no idea I should even have one by now since nothing in there.  It was supposed to be on the discharge sheet, but the sheet the nurses gave me were different than usual I guess.  So you might want to pick some up before you go to have at home.

Dont forget the charger for your cell phone.  (you dont want the battery to be dead on you) LOL.

Baby wipes.  I brought a travel package and used them all.  It feels refreshing to wipe your face and neck with them (since no shower in there), and also because of the catheter (I know TMI).   Cell charger is a good one, I forgot to mention that, glad someone thought of it.

I'll add lotion, charger and wipes to my list. Thanks all for the advice. I am soooooo freaking freaking out right now. I can hardly stand it. I'm trying to work but that's not working very well. At least I'll be distracted tonight and tomorrow with my grandmothers viewing and funeral then I buckle down on Sunday for the ass explosions. LOL

I'm definatley nervous, excited, scared all those crazy emotions. I've been told to take half of my happy pill on Monday before I leave the house. Hopefully that will take the edge off.
